Abstract: An apparatus is provided for loading water bottles into a water cooler. The apparatus includes a cradle adapted to assume a horizontal position to receive a horizontally disposed water bottle that is laterally rolled into the cradle, a hinge adapted to rotate the cradle and received water bottle to a vertical position so that a water delivery aperture of the water bottle is disposed on a bottom side of the water bottle and an energy absorbing control arm assembly adapted to lower the rotated water bottle into the water cooler.
