The storage device serves to store laboratory objects, in particular microtiter plates, in shelf racks (4) and comprises a shelf access device, which has an upper and a lower guide (15, 15?), between which there is arranged a vertical guide (16). A horizontal drive (18) drives the vertical guide (16) along the upper horizontal guide (15). A shaft transmits this motion to the lower end of the vertical guide (16) and drives a gear there, which generates an additional drive along the lower guide (15?). This allows to prevent a tilting of the vertical guide (16) when accelerating or decelerating. In addition, the vertical guide (15) is guided in non-rotational manner at its upper and lower ends in the upper and lower guides (15, 15?), such that a torsion of the vertical guide is prevented.
