A panel feed device arranged on a horizontally displaceable feed carriage for feeding panel-type workpieces deposited on a lift table to panel splitting apparatus which is provided with a feed member which is arranged in a vertically displaceable manner on the feed carriage and during the feed motion of the latter can be made to abut an edge of a workpiece or set of workpieces with its lower end piece, and with a support arm which extends in the feed direction beyond the feed member, is arranged in a vertically displaceable and detainable manner on the latter, and can also be positioned on the workpiece or set of workpieces to be shifted, is described. To enable conversion of such a panel feed device without manual interference in a very short time in order to shift a desired number of workpiece panels from a panel stack placed in readiness, the support arm is automatically adjustable through a preselectable path together with the lift table, relative to the feed member fixed, in particular, in a bottom initial position on the feed carriage, in relation to the lower end face of the feed member, and when the preselected height position is reached, the support arm and the feed member can be automatically fixed with respect to one another, with the feed member then being freely movable in the vertical direction relative to the feed carriage.
