A receptacle transport mechanism comprises a body, a plunger configured to be movable with respect to the body, and one or more limbs movably attached to the body and positioned in operative engagement with the plunger. The plunger is movable with respect to the body between a first position whereby engagement by the plunger with the one or more limbs positions a lower portion of each limb proximal to the body and a second position whereby engagement by the plunger with the one or more limbs extends the lower portion of each limb outwardly relative to the body.
