For successively supplying sheets of corrugated paperboard or the like to a desired processing machine, a platform is slidably supported on one side of an upright support frame for up-and-down motion therealong. A stack of sheets to be supplied to the processing machine is deposited on the platform and is thereby raised toward a feed mechanism including an elongate push plate movable back and forth along an overhead guide beam extending horizontally rearwardly from the upright support frame. With each forward stroke of the push plate, a prescribed number of the sheets on the platform are forced in the form of a stack onto the rear end of a conveyor mechanism on the other side of the upright support frame via an aperture formed therethrough. Each stack of sheets thus loaded on the conveyor mechanism is readjusted into neat register by retractable stop members arranged adjacent the forward conveyor end and is thereafter unloaded therefrom onto a shelflike station appended to the processing machine.
