Abstract: The lifter for stacked trays is a motorized lifting device for stacked trays, such as bread trays, and includes a substantially U-shaped base and a vertical frame. A moveable frame assembly is slidably mounted on the vertical frame. The moveable frame assembly includes a horizontal frame member and a pair of engaging swing arms. Rear ends of the engaging swing arms are respectively pivotally secured to a pair of horizontally opposed ends of the horizontal frame member. A motor selectively raises and lowers the moveable frame assembly. A pair of vertical rods are respectively mounted to the pair of engaging swing arms adjacent the rear ends thereof. When a stack of trays engage the pair of vertical rods, to rearward movement of the stack of trays causes the pair of engaging swing arms to rotate inwardly to contact the side edges of the adjacent tray in the stack.
