Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0764601A2] A pallet 2 with a stack 3 of printed sheets in position is loaded onto a support platform 10 having four lifting lugs 11 located adjacent the corners of the pallet 2. A drive shaft 15 drives separate drive chains 16, one connected to each lifting lug 11. A free end 21 of each chain 16 is provided with a counterweight 22 to ensure that the chain 16 is in contact with the associated sprockets over which the chain 16 is trained. A segment shaped guide 25 is positioned over a main driven sprocket to ensure that the chain is retained in positive engagement. Guide means for guiding the stack 3 into an aligned position on the support platform 10 is provided by guide strips 40 and side angle shaped guide arms 45 including a lower inturned portion. Manufacturing efficiency is optimised. <IMAGE>
