Abstract
A system for transporting containers, which is especially suitable for use in a plant for the production of paints, varnishes and the like, includes a longitudinally extending bearing structure for containers. The structure in turn includes a first, fixed, portion defining one or more fixed bearing surfaces, and a second, movable, portion defining one or more movable bearing surfaces. Handling devices are coupled operatively to the movable portion in order, in use, to bring about coordinated movements of lifting/lowering and longitudinal advance/return of the movable portion relative to the fixed portion.
