Abstract
Method and apparatus for palletizing articles delivered by an accumulator belt onto a pallet in transverse rows of alternating orientation, with the first and last transverse rows of each tier of articles on the pallet being of the same orientation, such palletization being accomplished by engaging and lifting the transverse row of an appropriate orientation which immediately follows the last transverse row of a first tier, loading a second tier of articles with the transverse row immediately following the lifted transverse row forming the first transverse row of such tier, reforming the lifted transverse row into a transverse row of the appropriate orientation by side shifting, and inserting the reformed lifted transverse row as the initial transverse row of a third tier of articles.
