The intermediate storage (1), which is equipped with an intake station (2) and an output station (3), has two vertical conveyors (4, 5) and two horizontal conveyors (6, 7), which form a conveying circuit with the latter. All conveyors are in the form of chain conveyors. The two vertical conveyors (4, 5) each have chains which are provided with catches (23, 24) and arranged in pairs, each with an individual chain drive. Level differences which occur in operation between the transferring edges (K) of the unit load suppliers (25, 32) and the carrier plates (26) can be identified and corrected immediately. To keep the mutual gap between successive gondolas (60, 61) small, the gondola (60) of a gondola pair (60, 61) which is running ahead is deflected sideways in the region of the deflection (10). A collision with the following gondola (61) is thus reliably avoided.
