A support bed for the sheet stack is constructed so that the bed may be withdrawn into a space of the handling apparatus so that a top level of the support bed remains below a top level of the transfer elements. The support bed with the sheet stack is movable from the handling apparatus into storage, and from storage to the handling apparatus.
