An elevator (21) extends vertically from a lower region having a serpentine rack (31) (for small items) to an upper region housing conveyor racks (22) for larger items. Items from the serpentine rack are conveyable to the elevator by a carrying means, e.g. a conveyor which displaces bars (45) to push items along a guide surface (46). Thus the elevator can convey all items to a single outlet (14). The elevator bucket (24) has means (242,243) for centering merchandise on the bucket (24).
