A variable-capacity store (1) for objects (2), wherein an endless powered flexible conveyor belt (12) defines a conveying branch (6) for transferring a mass of objects (2) from an input station (S1) to an output station (S2), and defines a return branch (9) extending from the output station (S2) to the input station (S1); the conveying branch (6) is located entirely above a horizontal storage plane (13), and the store (1) is connected to at least one vertical conveyor (14) located at the input station (S1) and/or the output station (S2) to lift/lower the mass of objects (2) to/from the horizontal storage plane (13), and which is at least partly defined by an up/down branch (16) of the flexible belt (12).
