The present invention relates to a pallet handling device for a palletizing apparatus in which a vertical downward trajectory (rv) is defined for loading a pallet (5) from an initial pallet loading height (hi) to a final pallet loading height (hf), being defined between said initial loading height (hi) and said final loading height (hf) an empty pallet side delivery height (hs) for introducing an empty pallet (5) in the vertical path (rv), the pallet handling device comprising a first elevator (2) configured to move the pallet (5) below the initial height (hi) to an intermediate height (hm), and a second elevator (3) configured to move said pallet (5) below the intermediate height (hm) to the final loading height (hf). the pallet handling device further comprising a storage space (10) for storing an empty pallet (5) and a horizontal displacement unit (4) configured to move an empty pallet (5) between the storage space (10) and the vertical downward trajectory (rv).
