We have several burning machines and load many different 60x120" plates .188" thick to .500" from our warehouse area to the burning machine que. This que is based upon work order need so we may have a que of 6 different steel plates in a que of 24 plates. In the warehouse, the plates are stacked 8-15 plates to a "layer" on wood blocks sitting on the floor. The problem is that when you only need 3-6 sheets out of a layer 15 sheets thick, you have to manually pick up one sheet at a time from the top down because we have no good way to "knife" between layers and pick up all the required sheets in one lift. We have used chisels, sledghammers, a prybar, and 2 guys, but this method takes longer and is injury-prone. Anybody know of a device that hooks on a 10 Ton crane that acts as a plate separator for stacks of .188-.500" thick plate?
