Abstract
A handling system () for handling stackable flat elements, in particular carton elements. The system () includes a supporting table () on which at least an edge portion () of a stack () of flat elements is supportable, a clamping device () configured for clamping a first part () of the edge portion of the stack () to the supporting table (), and a lifting device () configured for lifting a second part () of the stack () from the supporting table (). The lifting device () and the clamping device () are arranged to the supporting table () such that the stack () is bendable by clamping the first part () of the stack () onto the supporting table () by the clamping device () and lifting the second part () of the stack () from the supporting table () by the lifting device () at the same time such that the stack () is bent around a bending axis (), wherein the bending axis () extends within a plane parallel to a supporting plane () of the supporting surface ().
