Abstract
A gripping device for gripping an egg tray (A) having a dimpled structure includes a gripping unit () that is movable up and down to engage and grip the egg tray (A) and move it. The gripping unit comprises () at least a pair of opposite grip ping members (A,B) which are movable in opposite directions, substantially transverse to the up and down movement of the unit (), from a retracted position to an advanced position to grip a dimple () of the egg tray (A), and from the advanced position to the retracted position to release the dimple. Each gripping member (A,B) of said pair has a separate pressure operated actuator () operatively connected to it. The actuator (), upon pressurization, moves the corresponding gripping member (A,B) from the retracted position to the advanced position.
