In a device for stacking and unstacking containers provided with grasping holes and more particularly for the loading and unloading of palettes with such containers, such as bottle crates and the like, comprising a gripper member having grippers adapted to be brought in and out of engagement with the holes to pick up and deposit such container and which is mounted on a gripping carriage able to be driven on a turnover area for such crates between a pickup site and a depositing site of same, there is the improvement that the grippers for picking up and depositing the containers are arranged, and adapted to be vertically moved, to pickup and deposit the containers while simultaneously performing a pivoting motion in relation to the gripping member which is stationarily arranged in relation to the gripper carriage. This design has the advantage that operation of the grippers on the fly is possible and accordingly the handling rate of the arrangement is enhanced.
