ABSTRACT:
A stacking plant and method for stacking elongated bodies such as timber bodies in layers situated one above the other wherein all of the bodies of all of the layers are substantially parallel to each other with adjoining layers being separated by at least a pair of laths which extend crosswise of the bodies. A body-handling apparatus is arranged so as to extend along a first location while a lath-handling apparatus is arranged so as to extend along a second location part of which extends across the first location, both of these apparatus being operated in such a way that the body-handling apparatus sequentially forms at the intersecting parts of the locations layers of the bodies while the lath-handling apparatus deposits on each layer at the intersecting parts of the locations at least a pair of laths after each layer is formed and before the next layer is deposited on the laths situated on the preceding layer by the body-handling apparatus. The above first and second locations have elongated portions which extend in the same general direction and between which there is located at a third location a station for a single operator who can control both the body-handling apparatus and the lath-handling apparatus while having a good visibility of all of the operations.
