A device (20) is adapted to move an elongated object (21), such as rebar, fr om a first location (22) to a second location (23). The device includes an obje ct - supporting surface (24), such as a conveyor; a plurality of stops (25) extending in a direction away from the surface; at least one hold-down (26) spaced from the surface and the stop. The first (22) location is arranged between the surface, stop and hold-down. A mechanism (28) is adapted to pick up an object positioned at the first location and to move the object along a n orbital path (46) to a second location (23). Before arriving at the second location, the object may be counted and/or separated from other objects.</SD OAB>
