1. A system for transporting a container in a container inspection environment, comprising:
belts that encounter sides of a container during transport of the container, two conveyor sections each having a pulley and a control that drives one of the belts in a loop, a movable member in communication with a belt, and a pressure transducer in operable communication with the movable member, the pressure transducer moving the movable member when a force exerted upon the container is improper, wherein movement of the movable member increases tension of one of the belts when the force exerted upon the container is too low.
