PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet loading device capable of preventing loading alignment failure even if it is a curled sheet. SOLUTION: An image forming device A and a sheet loading device B are equipped with an entrance roller 4 receiving a sheet from the image forming device A and carrying it, and an intermediate roller 5, an ejection roller 6 installed at the downstream side of the sheet carrying direction of the entrance roller 4 and the intermediate roller 5, a loading tray 7 loading the sheet ejected from the ejection roller 6, and a sheet support means 2, 3 which are at the downstream side of the sheet carrying direction of the discharging roller 6 above the loading tray 7. The sheet support means 2, 3 are formed in a U-shape consisting of lower guide surfaces 2b, 3b, side guide surfaces 2c, 3c, and upper guide surfaces 2d, 3d. It is installed opposing to the both ends of the sheet width direction, supports the lower surface of the sheet and stands by with approximate sheet width. It is movable from a first position capable of holding the sheet above the loading tray 7 to the position wider than the sheet width, and to a second position not supporting the undersurface of the sheet.
