Abstract
Lifting apparatus, especially a palletizing device, with a lifting head (13) attached to an articulated arm (12) for receiving, transporting and setting down objects, especially cardboard boxes. The cardboard boxes or other objects are to be set down on pallets (10). For increased efficiency, a plurality of pallet stations is formed in the working area of the palletizing device (11) for depositing cardboard boxes. In order to transport empty pallets (10) from time to time to the pallet stations, an additional apparatus can be put on the lifting head (13), namely a pallet grab (36). The latter is actuated from the lifting head (13) in the sense of opening and closing grasping members, namely carrying legs (55, 56).
