Abstract
Cans, such as paint cans, provided with pivotable handles are handled by apparatus so that the handles are moved to an erected position. The apparatus comprises a sleeve structure through which each can is passed, and as the can passes through the sleeve structure, cam tracks on the sleeve structure engage the handle and raise it to the erected position.
