A machine for processing and restacking stacks of sheets of printed or unprinted paper, cardboard and the like, including a support, means for holding the sheets of a stack on edge, in a substantially vertical position on the support, sheet lifting means movable along the support successively under the sheets of the stack, side sheet guide means having a face located adjacent the position of the side edges of the sheets of the stack above the support with its face in a position to be engaged by the adjacent side edges of the sheets, means for vibrating the sheet lifting means for in turn vibrating, loosening and separating the sheets of the stack at the position of the sheet lifting means, means for positioning the vibrating means and controlling its effect on the lifted sheets for moving them in a direction to cause their said side edges to contact the face of the side guide means, thereby stacking the sheets of the stack with the side edges in alignment. The support of this unit comprises a plurality of spaced parallel beams, the sheet lifting means and the vibrating means comprises a plurality of lifting shoes located between beams and projecting above their upper surfaces, and the vibrating means is an electromagnetic vibrator for controlling the stacking of the sheets.
