The apparatus has a control device functionally connected to a sensor device e.g. tactile sensor, including a laser measuring system e.g. laser scanner, for detecting a position and an orientation of a container e.g. small-load carrier, to be gripped. A gripping device grips the container, where the gripping device has an outer gripper e.g. double/triple gripper, movable relative to the container for gripping an edge of the container. The sensor device and gripping device are arranged on a gripping head (56), where the head is operatively attached to a robot (36). An independent claim is also included for a process for palletising/depalletising containers.
