The stacking machine for crates or boxes comprises a conveyor which feeds crates to the stacking area (4). A signal generator (7) indicates when crates reach the desired position (6b). A lifting device (8), which is controlled by the signal generator, has holders which fit under the crate and can be released from it when the crate reaches the desired height (9), as indicated by a second signal generator (12). A second conveyor removes the stack sideways from the stacking area and is controlled by the second signal generator An Independent claim is included for an automatic stacking method for crates or boxes using the above machine.
