A process for manipulating workpieces, which are to be carburized, wherein the workpieces or workpiece magazines that are to be deposited on pallets are loaded in several rows, corresponding to a predefined number of rows of workpieces, into a rotating hearth furnace and, after carburization, are removed from the rotating hearth furnace and fed to a hardening press, exhibiting a predetermined number of press stations, and wherein on each pallet are deposited a number of workpieces or workpiece magazines, said number corresponding to the number of press stations. For better utilization of the capacity of the rotating hearth furnace and the hardening press, the pallets in the rotating hearth furnace are arranged in such a number of rows that the number of press stations is a divisor of the number of workpiece rows.
