The system comprises racks (3) and associated carriers (40), each carrier having a supporting surface for supporting individual pieces of luggage, which carriers can be moved between adjacent racks by lifts (5), between storage positions (4) and a transfer position (32) of a transfer station (30). At least some of the transfer stations comprise moving means (34) provided with a pusher element (33) for each transfer station for pushing a buffered piece of luggage off the supporting surface of a carrier (40) positioned at the transfer position.
