Preferably, the second conveyor extends perpendicular to the path of the first conveyor and has three positions arranged in a row with the middle position being the one position in the path of the vertical path of the first conveyor so that as a pallet is removed from the first conveyor to an unloading position, an empty pallet in a ready position is moved into the path of the first conveyor.
