A b s t r a c t : (referring to Fig. 4) On pallets loaded with several layers (tiers 11), relative- ly thin intermediate layers 13 made of cardboard or the like are usually located between the tiers 11. These inter- mediate layers have to be removed after a tier 11 has been unloaded. For this purpose, a suction lifter 16 with a suction plate 17 is provided, which lifts and discharges the free intermediate layer by means of a vacuum. To avoid undesirable relative displacements of the stacked articles (blank stacks 12), the suction lifter 16 is provided with holding-down devices 22. These devices 22 pass through openings 23 in the intermediate layer 13 and come to abutt the blank stacks 12, such that the latter are fixed in place when the intermediate layer 13 is lifted. Profile members 31 are arranged on the suction lifter 16 for further securing the articles (blank stacks 12). These members 31 enter cavities 32 formed between adjacent articles (blank stacks 12) in a form-fitting positive manner.
