Abstract: It is disclosed a storage tower (400), an automated storage and retrieval system (1) and a method of using same. The storage tower (400) comprises a vertically extending supporting structure having a vertical axis, and a plurality of horizontally oriented container supports (402a-m) arranged along the vertical axis of the supporting structure and distributed at vertical intervals. Each container support (40a-m) is rotationally connected to the support structure and configured to support at least one storage container. The container supports (402a-l) each displays at least one opening (403) having a size being at least a maximum horizontal cross section of the storage containers (106) to be stored. The container supports (402a-l) can be rotated about the vertical axis independently such that the at least one opening (403) of each container supports (402a-l) is vertically alignable with the at least one opening (403) of the other container supports (402a-l) by individual rotation of the container supports (402a-l).
