The invention relates in particular to a feed device for automatically shifting objects, in particular goods or packages of goods, wherein the automatic shifting of objects is done with the support of gravity force, and/or the feed device (V2) comprises a driven feed unit (2) for this purpose in order to shift a plurality of objects arranged successively along a guide track in the direction of an extraction area (E), from which an object can be removed as intended. According to a first aspect of the invention, at least one guide element (6a, 6b, 6', 6*) produced separately and already mounted to the functional feed device (V2) is provided, which has a longitudinally extended sliding surface (600, 600', 601*, 602*, 603*) extending substantially parallel to the guide track, which defines at least part of the placement surface, and along which the objects to be moved by the feed unit (2) can be shifted.
