Re: Any strategy to right or grab a bin on it's side

We thought of some designs to right a container that is placed on it's side, but eventually chose to design the lift mechanism to handle only knocked bins, and to give up on uprighting them.
It seems as if in some ways it can be easier to handle, since knocked bins are pretty similar to the totes (they are about twice as higher, but they are only about 6 cm longer and 3 cm wider).

If the bin is upside down. Maybe you should just leave it be.
If the bin is upside down it can be knocked to it's side.
... Unless you refer to a tote, do you?
