Over-stack panel feeder

With its reduced footprint, the Over Stack Panel Feeder available from Black Bros. Co. is designed to boost efficiency and productivity while feeding panels directly from a scissors lift into the production line. As the name suggests the Over Stack Panel Feeder feeds boards from overhead instead of behind the stack, taking up less manufacturing floor space. After each panel is fed, the scissors lift indexes upward, and the Over Stack Panel Feeder is ready to feed the next panel.
