<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide physical distribution facilities automatically transferring products on pallets and reducing the load on workers. SOLUTION: The physical distribution facilities are provided with an automated storage and retrieval ware house 1 storing single-item pallets loading single- item products as pallet units, depalletizer/palletizer parts 11A and 11B directly transferring the products from the single-item pallet delivered from the warehouse 1 to a sorting pallet, and a carrier truck 53 carrying the single-item pallets between the warehouse 1 and the depalletizer/palletizer parts 11A and 11B. The facilities are so constituted that, when a plurality of pallets loaded with the single-item products and having remainders in the number of the products left thereon are recognized, the single-item pallets are delivered from the warehouse, the products are transferred from each single-item pallet to an empty pallet in the depalletizer/palletizer parts 11A and 11B, and the pallets with their products transferred are warehoused in the warehouse 1.
