Abstract
Apparatus and method for palletizing bundles of sheets to move them from a first position or pickup station and into rows and stacks on a pallet on a second or deposit station. A single overhead and endless conveyor is utilized. A bundle pickup mechanism, such as a clamp, is employed to the conveyor and has elevator means for lifting the bundle relative to the overhead crane or conveyor and for then lowering the bundle at the deposit station and relative to the overhead crane or conveyor. In that manner, the apparatus is simplified in utilizing one endless overhead crane or conveyor, and the entire system is automated by means of electric sensors and powered mechanisms.
