Abstract: There is provided a pallet dispensing apparatus wherein the carriage assembly is reciprocably movable in a vertical direction and has first and second transversely extending rails with pallet supporting members secured thereto. Each of the rails has a cam member at an end thereof which is movable in an associated cam guide which has first and second generally vertically extending cam tracks, an upper cam guide track extending between upper portions of the inner and outer vertical channels and a lower cam guide track extending between lower portions of the inner and outer vertical channels. The guiding movement of the cam guide with associated cam members causes the transversely extending rails to rotate and permit the dispensing of a single pallet.
