Apparatus suspendible from a boom and the like for handling a stack of generally rigid sheet-like articles. The apparatus includes a rigid frame which is somewhat C-shaped as viewed from one of its sides, with the frame including a generally upright cradle having an open laterally facing side for receiving a stack of sheets with the latter on edge in the cradle. Power-operated lift forks pivoted to the base of the frame are swingable between a lowered position for picking up and depositing a stack and a raised position for placing a stack within the cradle. In the raised position, the forks substantially close off the open side of the cradle.
