Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for safely and efficiently transferring granular material from a container. An example system can include a container for transporting granular material that includes a valve positioned to discharge the granular material from the container. The system can also include a frame shaped to receive and support the container. The system can further include an actuator mounted to the frame and oriented such that actuation of the actuator causes the valve of the container to be opened. Finally, the system can include a conveyor positioned to receive granular material from the container when the valve of the container is opened.
