MULTIPLE-STAGE STACKING DEVICE FOR STEEL PRODUCT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stack steel products in multiple stages efficiently at a low cost regardless of magnetic or nonmagnetic steel products by providing a lifting/ stacking means which has prescribed one-way steps between a group of aligned steel products for lifting the steel products, inclines a contact section with the steel products downward from the high stage side to the low stage side, and has a stopper on the lowest stage. SOLUTION: Steel products 2a-2j are conveyed in the lateral direction relative to the conveying direction of a chain conveyor 1. A rotary lever 3 is held rotatably around a spindle 3a, and an attachment 4 is removably fitted. The attachment 4 is provided with three lugs 4a and three recesses 4b in turn, and a stopper 5 is arranged at the left end. The lever 3 is rotated, the steel products 2b, 2d, 2f bearing even numbers from the top are lifted on the lugs 4a, and odd-numbered steel products 2a, 2c, 2e are received in the recesses 4b. When the inclination is increased, the even-numbered steel products 2b, 2d, 2f are slid down by the tare weight and overlapped on the odd-numbered steel products 2a, 2c, 2e.
