Abstract

An automated container loader for loading a smaller storage container into a larger storage container. The loader includes a container support for receiving a larger storage container and a container loading assembly configured to receive a smaller storage container above the larger storage container and release the smaller storage container to allow the smaller storage container to descend under gravity into the larger storage container. The container loading assembly also includes a plurality of engagement surfaces configured to engage the smaller storage container during at least a portion of the descent of the smaller storage container to control the descent velocity of the smaller storage container under gravity.
