An automated rack unloading apparatus for automatically unloading a container from a rack shelf is provided. Such an apparatus includes a frame and a carriage assembly operably engaged with the frame. The carriage assembly travels vertically to align with a rack shelf on which a container to be unloaded from the rack shelf is located. The carriage assembly has a first end and a second end. A spoon is pivotally connected to the first end of the carriage assembly at a pivot point. A retractable support mechanism supports the second end of the carriage assembly. The retractable support mechanism is operable to lower a leading edge of the spoon with reference to the pivot point to thereby downwardly incline the spoon for insertion under the container. An associated method is also provided.
