A drawing station 3 is, like the depositing station 2, equipped with an elevator 8B having as many vertical carrying racks 11B which go up and down vertically as vertical carrying racks 11A. A stacker crane 5 is arranged at a space between the depositing and drawing stations 2, 3 and is supported by rails installed respectively in the upper part of the top surface and in the lower part of the bottom surface in parallel with the depositing station 2 and travels both ways along the rails by means of a travel device provided at the bottom surface.
