ABSTRACT:
An automatic handling apparatus for handling stacking boards/stacking pallets comprising a carrying arm with an actuating mechanism (17-23) which operates the carrying arm in three different planes (X, Y, and Z) and about a rotational vertical axis (W). The stacking board is designed as a stackable pallet (1). This exhibits on its underside, on opposite side borders (1a, 1b), in each case two hollow feet (2) and in each case two hollow latching protuberances (4,5) with a smaller engagement depth than that of the feet. The feet (2,3) on each longitudinal border of the pallet are located opposite the hollow latching protuberances (4,5) on the other longitudinal border. In this manner, when a plurality of pallets are stacked one upon the other, depending on the orientation of the pallets, either a tightly packed storage stack can be produced. In the case of this storage stack, the feet of the pallet placed on top are sunk into the hollow feet of the pallet located thereabove. Alternatively, a working stack can be produced, in which case the feet of a pallet placed on top engage into the hollow latching protuberances of the pallet located therebeneath. Thus, adjacent pallets are spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance.
