An apparatus for storing mixed cargo in which a plurality of containers each house therein a plurality of storage channels arranged in tiers and rows filling each container and located immovably with respect to each other. The storage channels lead away from a loading and unloading opening in one container end wall. Each channel has a smooth, low friction bottom extending in its longitudinal direction. Packages are loaded through the loading and unloading opening one in back of the other in series in each channel. The channels are loaded by pushing items of cargo in mutual contact into the channels and by tilting the container to allow sliding of the items of cargo in rows out of the channels. In a plant the containers are loaded at a loading station, transported to a storing station where they are oriented with their loading openings facing in the same direction, for convenient refrigeration of the contents, and at a third station items of cargo are transferred from such a multichannel container directly to correspondingly located channels of an opposed distribution container. |
