There is provided compact load storage equipment that can store a large number of loads. The storage equipment comprises a rotary rack 21, a transferrer 51, one or more fixed racks 101, an inlet port 111a and an outlet port 111b. The rotary rack 21 is supported rotatably about a first vertical axis and includes a number of vertically arranged stages of turning load supports 32. The transferrer 51 adjoins the rotary rack 21 and includes a carrier 81, which can vertically move and rotate about a second vertical axis. The fixed racks 101 are positioned around the transferrer 51 and each includes a number of vertically arranged stages of fixed load supports 103. In plan view, the ports 111a and 111b each overlap with one of the rotary and fixed racks 21 and 101. The transferrer 51 can transfer loads between the carrier 81 and any one of the turning and fixed load supports 32 and 103, and between the carrier 81 and each of the ports 111a and 111b, by the turning and vertical movement of the carrier 81, or by the combination of the turning and vertical movement of the carrier 81 and the turning of the turning load supports 32.
