As far as I can tell, the pneumatic actuator facing us is used to knock bins over, or its used to lift bins up 2 bins high and stack them.
Since the red bars aren't for the HDPE, I have to say it's used to climb over the bar, since the tall structure will never fit under. Or it can simply act as wedges. They would also protect a stack of bins from the side.
The big structure on top is probably used to push the wall of bins in the middle.
I think there will be some sort of wings on the side two, looking at the mounting holes.
