A bridge and stopper mechanism for an apparatus for lateral transfer of roller pallets, the apparatus serving to transfer roller pallets and employing bridges as extensions of rails between the shelving and the transporter body, the stopper being placed on the shelving to control the access of roller pallets to the lateral transporter. To reduce the number of hydraulic cylinders and to simplify the operation of the mechanism, the invention is implemented in such manner that at least one stopper actuator lever is pivoted on each end of the internal transporter body, the said levers being connected to the bridges and moving along with these. When pressing against the base of the stopper peg, the stopper actuator lever is turned from a horizontal position to a low position.

Bridge and stopper mechanism for an apparatus for lateral transfer of

A pick-up means for roller pallets in such applications where the roller pallets (1) run on rails (2) on tracks (3). At the discharge end of the tracks there is a stop (4) preventing the discharge of roller pallets until a pick-up means (6) provided with a travelling surface (5) comes to get the roller pallets meant to be dispatched. The pick-up means of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a slide (8) movable in its longitudinal direction and provided with a transporter (7), said slide being at a pick-up operation movable in under the first roller pallet (1) on the rails (2), while at the same time it will disengage the stop (4) so that the roller pallet moves onto the travelling surface (5) of the pick-up means, being pulled by the slide (8). The pick-up operation is now accomplished with considerably greater safety and speed than with any apparatus of prior art.
