Carrier for panels

A system for automatically loading panels on a carrier, comprising:

• the carrier including,
• a housing having a pair of opposing sidewalls extending in a first direction;
• a plurality of trays stacked between the pair of opposing sidewalls in the first direction, wherein each tray of the plurality of trays is configured to support a panel thereon;
• and
• a lid coupled to the pair of opposing sidewalls and configured to be slid on the housing in a second direction transverse to the first direction between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the plurality of trays are supported in the housing such that (a) in the closed configuration of the lid, two trays of the plurality of trays are blocked from moving relative to one another in the first direction, and (b) in the open configuration of the lid, the two trays are configured to be moved relative to one another in the first direction;
• and
• a tilter mechanism configured to
• slide the lid of the carrier between its open and closed configuration, and
• in the open configuration of the lid, move a first tray of the plurality of trays of the carrier in the first direction relative to a second tray below the first tray and load a panel of the plurality of panels in the second tray.
