To form a stack of elongate articles, such as steel bars, successive arrays of the articles are formed and each array in turn is pushed to a stacking location where it is moved over the preceding array with the lengths of the articles inclined to the length of the articles in the preceding array. When the new array has been brought to a position approximately above the previous array, the articles of the new array are brought into substantial parallelism with those of the preceding array. |
