An object-holding platform (178) for an apparatus for transporting objects. The platform (178) is suspended below, and is movable with, carriages (52) of the apparatus. The platform (178) includes a transfer mechanism operable to remove an object (184) from the platform (178). The transfer mechanism is operable by an actuator associated with an output station, the actuator being responsive to the approach of the platform (178). The transfer mechanism may comprise a bed of powered rollers (186), a motorised conveyor belt (195), or means to selectively tilt the platform (178). <IMAGE> |
