Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2354364A2] The invention concerns an apparatus (1) and a method for the handling of plates or sheets (2) on a surface (3). The apparatus includes a moveable loading platform (6) for the plates, which platform is moveable by driving means (8) for the plates. The platform is carried by a vertical suspension beam (5). Upon the suspension beam (5) a first carrying arm (16) is mounted perpendicularly to the beam. The said arm (16) is surrounded by an element (26) and has a fixed connection to the loading platform (6). First control means (22) allow the required rotation at an angle A of the element (26) with the loading platform (6) around the first carrying arm. The suspension beam has a second carrying arm (17) mounted crosswise to this beam (5). Its free top end (19) can be connected to a hook (20) of a hoist cable (4) as part of a hoisting device.
