Abstract
An inventory handling apparatus for transferring inventory items from an inventory bin onto a conveyer includes a rotatable member with a conveyance assembly mounted inside. The conveyance assembly receives an inventory bin into a conveyance channel sized to restrain the inventory bin during inversion of the inventory bin. The inverted inventory bin is moved onto a conveyor and the inventory bin lifted thereby leaving the inventory items on the conveyor.
