Device for layered stacking a support

The invention relates to a device for automatically stacking packages on a support comprising: at least one feeding conveyor; a lifting and lowering unit for lifting and lowering a palette; a position conveyor (4) embodied as a travel container, which is arranged horizontally and longitudinally to one side of the storage place, in order to position the packages in the X-direction; at least one sliding plate and a pusher in order to transport the packages from the travel path in the Z-direction to the predetermined position in the stack (S). The at least one sliding plate can is embodied as a flat, strip-like plate so that is can move horizontally and longitudinally on the side of the storage place and transversally thereto, in order to remove the packages from the positioning conveyor in the X direction position when pushed by the pusher and arranging on the plalette in the Z-direction. The travel container contains pivotable stops (37A, 37B) and can be moved on rails.
