ABSTRACT:
A barrel handling system includes a stationary support platform, a support housing, a gripping claw, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a vibrator. The support housing is pivotably coupled to the support platform. The gripping claw is pivotably coupled to the support housing. The gripping claw has an interior shape adapted to grip and hold a barrel. The first actuator is coupled to a first portion of the gripping claw for opening and closing the gripping claw. The second actuator is coupled to a second portion of the gripping claw for driving a pivotal movement of the gripping claw relative to the support housing. The vibrator is coupled to a third portion of the gripping claw for vibrating a barrel when a barrel is held by the gripping claw. The vibrator aids in emptying the contents of a barrel more effectively and quickly.
