Shelving system with movable shelves between stationary side shelves - has one service vehicle for each shelf plane and all service vehicles movable by common support tower.

摘要

The tower (12) has a number of superposed holders with guides corresponding to the number of superposed shelf compartments (6). The guides are set at corresponding levels in the guide rails (5). Each service vehicle (7) can move directly from the tower at the right level into the corresponding guide rails of the relevant shelf base. A load transfer device (16) with vertically movable holders (17) for the goods (10) is mounted at least one end of the guide path (11) for the tower set along the front of the shelf units (2,3). USE/ADVANTAGE- Much faster loading/unloading times. Handling operations are not completely halted should one service vehicle become inoperative.
