Described herein is a coupling device configured to be mechanically coupled to a cap of a container to be in a coupled configuration. Also described herein are a corresponding method and a corresponding system. In one embodiment, the coupling device is used in combination with a crop protection spray system. The coupling device includes a single probe and a first and a second mechanical mechanism. The first and the second mechanical mechanisms are independent from each other. The first mechanism allows drawing the cap and the container towards the coupling device thereby sealing and locking the cap and the coupling device into a desired position. The second mechanism facilitates actually moving the probe thereby lifting the probe with the closure insert into the container. The coupling device may be embodied as a first, second and third tube which are arranged concentrically.

Container coupling and opening device with probe

A container for transporting and storing a liquid and with a dual function closure, the container comprises a container body with at least one inlet opening closed by a cap. The cap comprises a first and a second opening, as well as a first closure insert and a second closure insert. The first and second openings are each surrounded by a respective circumferential wall that comprises a shoulder. Each closure insert releasably engages with the respective shoulder such that the respective opening is fluid tightly closed. The cap comprises a locking means adapted to engage with a locking interface of a coupling device.
