Abstract: Apparatus for discharge handling metal sheets from a rack consists of a pair of tiltable tables, plan dimensioned to telescope inside the rack when the latter is lowered over the tables; each table has a vertically disposed stop and a vertically positioned member slidable towards the stop. A pull down for the rack ensures that the sheets which are supported by spaced apart pins are lowered sufficiently below the tables to free the sheets from the pins at which time the slidable members move each to their respective stop to pack the sheets. The tables are then tilted until the stops are horizontal and the slidable members retract after which the packs are moved off the tables on to adjacent loading stations.
