Abstract
The spent anodes to be stacked are vertically suspended by their lugs to hooks. The anodes are lifted from the hooks and then rotated alternately 90.degree. and -90.degree. around a horizontal axis; the rotated anodes are lowered to a lower position wherein they are released; the released anodes form a pile on a support positioned under said lower position; and the support is lowered in such a way that the top of the anode pile being formed on it remains under said lower position.
