  • Publication number: 20240336436
    Abstract: An order preparation system including at least one automatically guided carriage which is intended to collect items of an order from shelves and is equipped with toothed wheels, which are mounted on retractable supports and are able to cooperate with racks or chains rigidly connected to the uprights of the shelves, so as to allow the carriage to ascend between two shelves, and with counter-wheels. A runner is fixed substantially at a distal end of each of the supports and is position with respect to a counter-wheel mounted on the same support such that when the carriage climbs, the counter-wheel is in contact with a face of an upright and the runner is spaced apart from the upright, and, if the movable support weakens due to failure, the runner comes to bear on the upright, so as to block the downward advance of the movable support.
