An apparatus and method for upending an item from a prone-orientation to an upright orientation. Two interconnected conveyors are employed, a first lower conveyor (14) and a second upending conveyor (12). The lower conveyor includes a series of slats (36) which may be raised to engage one end of an item to be upended. The second conveyor includes a series of spaced rods (82) located to engage the opposite end of the item to be upended. When an item is engaged between a raised slat and a rod, the distance between the slat and rod is retained essentially constant and the rod is raised relative to the slat to upend the item from the prone orientation to an upright orientation.
