In a stacking and forwarding apparatus, an array of work is continuously transported or rails by belts and a preceeding one of works is located and stopped in a receiving space defined by stoppers. The preceeding one of works is lifted by three guide rails which are located at left and right sides and front side of the work. Thus, a next work is received in the receiving space under the preceeding work and also lifted by the rollers. The pair of stacked works is pushed outside of the apparatus.
