Apparatus for transferring preforms (1) comprising a pair of parallel, sloping rails (2, 3) between which a plurality of preforms (1) are capable of gliding in an orderly manner, wherein said apparatus is provided with an arrangement that is adapted to identify the passage of preforms (1), of which one is inserted in the other one, and to remove said preforms (1) from said rails (2, 3). The arrangement (6) is constituted by a plurality of rotating forks (8) provided with two outer arms (9, 10) and located above said rails (2, 3), wherein said arms are capable of moving into at least a position in which the collar (16) of the inner preform (13) is engaged by said arms (9, 10), and a second position in which said arms raise said preforms (13, 12) from said rails (2, 3) and rotate in such a manner as to cause said preforms (13, 12) to be removed in pairs and ejected from said rails (2, 3).
