Abstract: A false pallet top hingedly connected to a printed work receiving station for a printing press is disclosed, the printing press having a printed works outlet, the station including an apparatus for raising an empty pallet to receive printed work from the outlet and for lowering the pallet as it becomes loaded with printed work. The false pallet top, comprising a single substantially rectangular sheet of rigid material covered with a low friction coating, can easily be moved from a stored vertical position into a horizontal position and slid between printed works within the receiving station allowing a full pallet to be removed and replaced with an empty pallet without stopping the printing press. After an empty pallet is properly positioned, the false pallet can be easily pulled out and placed in the stored position.
