Container warehousing delivery method - involves upper and lower wagons which individually and jointly engage container to place it into and remove it from storage location

摘要

The delivery system is for the feeding in and out of containers in high-roofed warehouses and in the individual storeys in the building rail-connected upper wagons and likewise connected lower wagons travel. Both types of wagon have their own drive and advance system effective crossways, whereby the upper wagon picks up the container at floor height and travels with it, suitably lifted from ground level, over the lower wagon. Then both wagons, sandwich fashion, move the container to its appointed storage location, where the upper wagon places it into position. Container removal from storage occurs in reverse order of the above sequence.
