A device for picking up products stacked on pallets comprising:

• a receiving station configured to receive a pallet;
• an unloading station comprising a support surface;
• transfer equipment movable at least between the receiving station and the unloading station and configured to pick up a separation sheet made of flexible material from the receiving station and deposit it in the unloading station;
• said transfer equipment comprising a plurality of grippers, wherein each gripper is configurable between a closed condition in which it grips the separation sheet made of flexible material and an open condition in which it releases the separation sheet made of flexible material;
• a main pusher placed in the unloading station movable along the support surface following an active section of a first path;
• wherein said main pusher is arranged parallel to said support surface and is spaced in a perpendicular direction from said support surface by a first distance (D1) when it travels along said active section;
• a secondary pusher movable along the support surface following an active section of a second path, wherein said active section of the second path is parallel to the active section of the first path, and wherein said secondary pusher, when travelling along the active section of the second path, is spaced in a perpendicular direction from the support surface by a second distance (D2) greater than said first distance (D1).
