SUSPENSION-TYPE STORAGE UNIT

摘要

A suspension-type storage unit comprises an overhead rail spaced above an upwardly facing surface; a frame defining an upper area and a lower area; a movable suspension-type connection between the rail and the upper area of the frame for providing movement of the frame along the rail; and a guide wheel carried by the lower area of the frame. The frame is configured and arranged such that the guide wheel is engaged with the upwardly facing surface to guide movement of the frame relative to the upwardly facing surface as the frame is moved along the rail. This arrangement avoids the necessity for a guide track secured to the upwardly facing surface to guide movement of the storage unit relative to the support surface as the storage unit is moved along the rail.
