Abstract
A transferring apparatus which enables articles interlock-stacked on a pallet for a single-article to be bar-stacked on a shipping pallet includes lifters 4, 6 for shipping pallets (transferring pallets) B, C provided on the respective sides of a lifter 2 for a pallet for a single-article A, and a carriage 20 which picks up one layer of articles at a time from the pallet for a single-article A and alternatively transfers the layers of articles to the two transferring pallets B, C. According to this configuration, it is possible to load only odd- or only even-numbered layers of the pallet for a single-article A onto the transferring pallets B, C.
