A wheeled dolly is positioned on these rails and the dolly has a spring-biased latch pin that restrains it against movement on the rails. An outrigger, can be hung on the uprights in position in front of a selected shelf, secured against accidental removal whereupon a latch pin-releasing device on the outrigger may be operated to release the latch pin on the dolly and the forward end of the dolly rolled from the rails on the shelf onto matching rails on the outrigger to a position where the dolly is exposed vertically for loading or unloading by a crane or hoist.
