ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An automatic loading and unloading system is provided for loading articles supplied from a first location at a rate commensurate with the rate at which articles are supplied from the first location into trays and for unloading the articles from the trays for transport to a second location at a rate commensurate with the demand for articles at the second location, and for compensating for variations in both the rate of supply of the articles and the rate of demand therefor. The system includes a tray loading station, and a tray loading apparatus for loading articles supplied from the first location into trays at tray loading station. An infeed device feeds articles from the first location to the tray loading apparatus in a predetermined, orderly fashion. At a stacking station, a stacking device stacks article- filled trays to form a supply thereof for use on demand. An outfeed device delivers articles on demand to the second location in a predetermined, orderly fashion. At an unloading station, an unloading apparatus unloads articles from article-filled trays to the outfeed device, such that article-filled trays may alternatively be stacked by the stacking device or delivered to the unloading station, in accordance with fluctuations in the supply and demand for articles at the first and second locations, respectively.
