摘要： A storage system includes a rack with a plurality of layers, each layer including an aisle (303) and a plurality of rows extending from the aisle (303) defining storage locations for items (308). A shuttle usable with the rack includes a first cart (102) movable along the aisle (303) and a second cart (104) configured to be carriable by the first cart (102) and to be movable along a row. The second cart is configured to carry an item (308) between the first cart (102) and the storage locations. A conveyor is located on one of the first (102) or second carts (104) to move the item onto or off the first cart (102). Related methods of storing and/or retrieving items (308) from a rack are also disclosed. A rack system is disclosed and is readily assembled without welding, transferring loading so that the weight of the rack and any item stored therein is supported by the upright elements via support brackets.

摘要： The invention relates to a single-level storage and retrieval unit (4) for storing articles in a rack store and retrieving them therefrom, the unit comprising a basic frame (51) and being movable along a guide path via a travelling drive. The single-level storage and retrieval unit (4) is equipped with a locking device (54), which comprises a locking element which can be adjusted relative to the basic frame (51) by an actuator. The invention also relates to a lifting device for the single-level storage and retrieval unit (4), this device comprising a guide frame and an accommodating device, which can be moved thereon relative to the rack store and is intended for transporting the single-level storage and retrieval unit (4) between rack levels of the rack store. The accommodating device comprises a locking element for blocking a travelling movement and for arresting an accommodating position of the single-level storage and retrieval unit (4). The single-level storage and retrieval unit (4), furthermore, can be used in a rack-storage system having a rack store with adjacent storage racks, between which at least one rack aisle extends from a first side of the storage rack to a second side of the storage rack and which has set-down locations for articles in rack levels located one above the other.
