ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for loading a batch of turkeys or other cargo into multilayer containers. A method of unloading the turkeys or cargo from the multilayer containers. Each container or coop includes a liftable gate at each end that enables access into the container through either end, and a slidably moveable floor positioned over a rigid permanent floor. As the turkeys are introduced into the containers, the slideable floor is retracted into the container, pulling the bird farther back into the container. Similarly, to unload the turkeys, the slideable floor is extracted from the container, moving the birds out of the container. A removable holding wall may be located at the end of the slideable floor to urge any hesitant turkeys out of the container.
