Abstract: Installation for applying labelling sleeves to articles such as cans (3), which installation is characterized in that it comprises a rectilinear transporter (2) for the cans in which is inserted a lifting table (4) capable, each time it is actuated, of bringing a can into the raised position for the application of a sleeve by means of stretching pincers (7), at least one barrier being provided below the lifting table to maintain the aligned cans (3), arranged on the transporter, in position while the table (4) is in the raised position and, when the table is lowered, to allow the can provided with a sleeve to be reintroduced into the rectilinear alignment of the cans.
