A handling device for handling containers in a capping and/or inspection station of a capping installation is provided. The device includes a centering member, having a side opening arranged to receive a neck region of a container, and a clamp gripping assembly for holding the container during the capping operations. The clamp gripping assembly is mounted so as to be vertically slidable between a first position, in which it is disengaged from the container and enables removing a capped container and receiving a container to be capped, and a second position, which is taken by the gripping assembly during capping and/or inspection and in which it engages the container. The clamp gripping assembly applies an axial load to the container when in the second position.
