The present invention relates to a picking device (1) for picking at least one object (4), comprising a support structure, a movable load handling
manipulator (2) arranged on the support structure, a handling element (3) arranged on the load handling
manipulator (2) for handling the object (4), and a
control unit (5) for controlling the load handling
manipulator (2) and the handling element (3), wherein the handling element (3) has a vertically displaceable
contact element (6) which can be applied to a front side (4-1) of an object (4) facing the handling element (3) and is configured to displace the front side (4-1) of the object (4) along a vertical object axis (8) in order to create a gap (9) below the front side (4-1) of the object (4), wherein the handling element (3) has two displaceable support elements (10, 10-1, 10-2).which are displaceable along a longitudinal axis (11) and along a
transverse axis (12), wherein the displaceable support elements (10, 10-1, 10-2) can be attached to a bottom surface (4-2) of the object (4) through the gap (9) created below the front surface (4-1) of the object (4) in order to receive the object (4). The support elements (10, 10-1, 10-2) each have at least two spaced-apart fixing elements (13, 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, 13-4) that can be switched between a fixed state and a non-fixed state. The control (5) is configured to switch one fixing element (13, 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, 13-4) of the two support elements (10, 10-1, 10-2) into the fixed state during a rotation step and to cause a synchronous displacement of the two support elements (10, 10-1, 10-2) along the longitudinal axis (11) and
transverse axis (12) in order to achieve a rotation of the object (4) about the vertical object axis (8).
