ABSTRACT:
A container handler for use with an over-and-under conveyor having upper and lower gravity-type roller conveyor sections disposed vertically one above the other. The container handler is disposed directly adjacent the discharged end of the upper conveyor and has a support platform alignable with the upper conveyor so that a container can be discharged from the upper conveyor onto the support platform for engagment with a stop. The front end of support platform, namely the end with the container stop, can be vertically lowered by an operator to facilitate access to the container. The front end can be vertically raised and lowered by a first lifting device and, when the operator is completed with his operations, the first lifting device lowers the front end of the support platform to a lowermost position. A second lifting device is then activated to lower the rear end of the support platform downwardly until it aligns with the adjacent inlet end of the lower conveyor to permit discharge of the container thereto. After discharge of the container, both lifting devices are activated to raise the support platform into its fully raised position in alignment with the upper conveyor.
