Abstract
Method and device for taking up articles. The apparatus or device comprises a vehicle running on tracks and mounted to the vehicle are a tilting member, a receiving table and an intermediate storage portion, with the tilting member tilting an article to be picked up, the receiving table entering the gap therebelow, holding same, retracting same, and transferring same to the intermediate storage portion, with the apparatus being actuated such that the tilting member can already start tilting a next article while the receiving table is still busy with a previous article, and the intermediate storage portion can be operated independently from the receiving table, this making it possible to manipulate several articles simultaneously and to thereby increase the pick-up rate.
