    Abstract: Sorting equipment for sorting articles (3), into receptacles (6) that are open at their tops, comprises shuttle cart and trolley assemblies (2) that can move independently so that each of them moves an article from a loading point (4) to a receptacle, wherein each shuttle cart and trolley assembly has a carrying deck (10) for carrying an article, which deck is suitable for overlying the opening in the top of a receptacle, and retaining means (16) above the openings in the receptacles, which leave a space (18) for allowing a carrying deck to pass between the retaining means and the opening in a receptacle, and retain the article loaded on the carrying deck above the opening in the receptacle when the shuttle cart and trolley assembly moves away from the receptacle in such a manner that the article falls by gravity into the receptacle.
