A station for presenting at least one container comprising:
- a frame delimiting an external volume and an internal volume and having an aperture for access to the internal volume;
- a conveying device contained at least partially in the internal volume and which comprises a first chimney for supplying containers to a first point of delivery, the first chimney extending in a first direction of supply;
- the conveying device also comprising:
- a second chimney for evacuating containers from a second point of evacuation, the second chimney extending in a second direction of evacuation;
- a first conveyor motorized to transfer a container in a third direction of transfer from the first point of delivery to a third point of transfer;
- a movable platform provided with a second motorized conveyor, wherein the movable platform is arranged to move the second conveyor in a fourth direction of transfer between the third point of transfer and a fourth point of presentation arranged in such a way that an internal volume of a container situated at the fourth point of presentation is accessible by an operator from the external volume, the second conveyor being arranged to transfer a container from the fourth point of presentation to the second point of evacuation in a fifth direction of transfer such that the container is transferred exclusively in the fifth direction of transfer without any change of direction until the container reaches the second point of evacuation.
