An apparatus (2) for removal of dried furs from pelting boards (8) upon which the fur during the drying process has been fixed. The apparatus removes furs from the pelting boards (8) in an upright position that are successively supplied in upright position, and which at a wide end of the pelting boards are fixed in fixing holes in a top plate of a drying cart (6) in such a way that the upright pelting boards (8) with furs are in transverse and longitudinal rows. The apparatus (2) includes a conveying tunnel (4); a guide for guiding a longitudinal side of the drying cart; a transverse upper guide (14); a secondary guide (16, 18); a primary laterally displaceable lift (30) for clamping a pointed end of the furs; and a secondary lift (50).
