<p>The storage unit comprises at least two base sections (1,2) with rails (3). The base sections are connected at their opposite ends by transverse parallel slideways (6,6') for transfer units (7). The transfer units are designed to shift carriages from one base to the other. Mobile carriages (4) carry inclined frames (5) and move between stations (8,9) on the rails for either taking on or discharging products. The carriages can be either manually operated, e.g. by handwheels (10), or motorised. The carriages can be connected to the rails by either rack and pinion mechanisms or tyred wheels engaging with the side of the rails to provide stability.</p> |
