The stat shuttle adapter and transport device includes a conveyor with a movable platform for securement of the stat shuttle adapter. The stat shuttle adapter is a universal holding device that includes a carrier housing having male and female surfaces that engage complementary shaped female or male surfaces of a rack that is held by the carrier housing. The conveyor has a forward load position wherein racks are loaded onto the carrier housing. The conveyor also has a rearward unload position wherein the loaded rack is locked onto the carrier housing to facilitate removal of the contents of the rack from the carrier housing without upsetting the rack. A latch device on the carrier housing is normally biased to a lock position but is maintained in an unlock position when the carrier housing is at the forward load position of the conveyor. A latch engagement device on the conveyor maintains the latch in the unlock position while the carrier housing is at the forward load position of the conveyor. Once the conveyor moves the carrier housing away from the forward load position toward the rearward unload position the latch device is free to move to the normal lock position wherein the loaded rack is locked to the carrier housing. As the conveyor moves the carrier housing toward to the rearward unload position the latch device remains in the lock position. To ensure that the latch device is in the lock position when the carrier housing is at the rearward unload position a latch actuator surface is provided at the rearward unload position of the conveyor to move the latch into the lock position if for some reason the latch remains in the unlock position.
