The present disclosure relates to a carrying device for carrying a stack of products, such as a stack of sheets of paper. The carrying device extends in a longitudinal direction (L), a transversal direction (T) and a vertical direction (V), the directions being mutually perpendicular. The carrying device may assume a carrying configuration in which the carrying device may carry the stack of products. The carrying device comprises a first carrying assembly, a second carrying assembly and a carrying device base, each one of the first and second carrying assemblies being connected to the carrying device base. Each one of first and the second carrying assemblies may comprise a delimitation assembly and a supporting surface assembly connected to the delimitation assembly, the supporting surface assembly comprising at least one supporting surface, wherein the vertical direction (V) extends from the supporting surface assembly to the carrying device base when the carrying device assumes the carrying configuration.
A carrying device (28) for carrying a stack of products (12), in particular a stack of sheets, such as a stack of sheets of paper, said carrying device (28) extending in a longitudinal direction (L), a transversal direction (T) and a vertical direction (V), said directions being mutually perpendicular, said carrying device (28) being adapted to assume a carrying configuration in which said carrying device (28) is adapted to carry said stack of products (12),
A transferring device (18) for transferring a stack of products (12), in particular a stack of sheets, such as a stack of sheets of paper, from a first position (24) to a second position (26), said transferring device (18) comprising a carrying device (28) according to any one of the preceding claims and a carrying device mover (30) adapted to move said carrying device (28), preferably said carrying device mover (30) being adapted to move said carrying device (28) in each one of said longitudinal direction (L), said transversal direction (T) and said vertical direction (V).
The handling system (136) according to claim 15, wherein said picking station supporting surface assembly first end portion (142) is located at a picking station longitudinal distance (156), in said picking station longitudinal direction (Lp), from said picking station supporting surface assembly second end portion (144), a picking station supporting surface assembly vertical distance (158) associated with said picking supporting surface (138) being the smallest absolute value difference between a first picking station difference (160) between said picking station supporting surface assembly center portion elevation (146) and said picking station supporting surface assembly first end portion elevation (148) and a second picking station distance (162) between said picking station supporting surface assembly center portion elevation (146) and said picking station supporting surface assembly second end portion elevation (150), a ratio between said picking station supporting surface assembly vertical distance (158) and said picking supporting surface assembly longitudinal distance (156) being at least 1%, preferably at least 2%, more preferred at least 3%.
