Abstract: THIS invention relates to a container handling arrangement and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a container handling arrangement for use in handling a bottom discharge container. The container handling arrangement, suitable for handling a bottom discharge container having a floor, at least a portion of which is displaceable between a closed position and an open position, includes a frame structure adapted releasably to engage the container, and an actuating mechanism provided on the frame structure. The actuating mechanism is displaceable between a secure position in which it retains the floor of the container in a closed position, and a release position, in which it allows the floor of the container to be displaced to the open position.
