Abstract: A stack lifting assembly for incrementally lifting stacks of flats loaded typically with produce to an unloading device and system. The assembly is configured to receive stacks of flats full of produce such as berries, and to lift the stacks to an unloader. The stack of flats is lifted allowing for the top flat to be removed and dumped, with the remaining stack of flats lifted and the process repeated. The stack lifting assembly has a frame, with two counter rotating belts that have flat support tabs that engage the bottom flat in a stack of flats, and lift the entire stack of flats. The dumping operation is allowed to proceed continuously, with no pauses to load stacks of flats. Throughput and safety are greatly improved.

Abstract: A produce loading and unloading device and system. The device and system has structures for lifting an entire stack of flats loaded with produce such as berries, moving the stack of flats to a conveyor, and dumping the produce off each flat of the stack, one flat at a time. During the process, the operator of the device doesn't have to lift a single flat of produce. The dumping operation operates continuously, with no pauses to load stacks of flats. Throughput and safety are greatly improved.
