The present invention reveals a sorting device, positioned above and orientated across a plurality of conveyors, capable of diverting objects between the conveyors or removing objects entirely from the conveyors, based on the object's destination location or some other characteristic. To accomplish its purpose, the device includes: a primary conveyor; a secondary conveyor; a monorail positioned above and orientated across the conveyors; a carriage that mounts the monorail; and a linear actuator that drives the carriage side to side the length of the monorail. The invention herein particularly relates to a paddle attached to the carriage that extends downward to contact the objects. A wiper is located along the bottom edge of the paddle that is biased in contact with the conveyors. A controller is capable of positioning the carriage so the paddle contacts the object to be diverted and pushes it between conveyors or from conveyors to adjacent destination locations.
