Storage plant containing shelves - has crane with grippers in front of shelves and takes bath-shaped cassettes for accommodation of long material, cassettes having adjacently located prongs

摘要

In front of the shelves is a running crane (20) for handling the goods to be stored. The crane has handling grippers (61) which form a row and the direction of this row coincides with the direction of the material pieces (6) handled by the crane. In the cassette (10) is at least one prong (67) which extends upwards from the cassette floor and the distance between this prong and the adjacent part of the cassette extending away from the cassette floor is variable so that it can be adjusted to the width of the piece of storage goods to be palletised. ADVANTAGE - Overcomes problems with known storage units for long material.
