Abstract: A cross bar forming a support surface between parallel deck beams of rack-type storage systems to create storage shelves, the cross bars being lockable and readily removable and reusable.

Abstract: Storage carts for the storage of pallets and other loads that may be moved between an open position into an aisle for access to the load and a closed position out of the aisle when desired.

Abstract: A reinforced rack truss base to protect against damage to a rack truss storage system is provided.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for painting a plurality of articles having a paint basin for holding paint, an article conveyor assembly for suspending and delivering articles to the basin, and a paint circulation and application system.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pallet storage system including a cart that rides on rails between an open or access position and a closed or storage position. More particularly, the present invention relates to a storage device that facilitates the picking of individual cases or items from pallets that are stored on the floor under a rack type storage structure. The device of the present invention enables two-deep storage of pallets on the floor and the automatic presentation of a rear pallet to the access aisle for easy picking of items stored on the pallet using a cart that cantilevers from the end of the rails.

Abstract: The present inventions provide self-supporting drawer type storage carts for the storage of pallets or other loads, including heavy and relatively fragile loads, that may be smoothly moved between an open or forward position and a closed or rearward position.

Abstract: A rack truss for use in forming shelf-type storage racks which may be assembled at the site using bolts and/or which includes reinforcement at the lower level of the rack truss.

Abstract: An improved storage rack system having a pick deck that allows for easy access to loads on pallets by order pickers.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to an elevator for multi-level rack storage systems that can automatically and continuously transfer loads from an upper level to a lower level without the use of an external power source.

Abstract: A container pick and return system is provided having a two-tiered flow rail conveyor system that includes an inclined upper set of feed flow rails forming an input conveyor assembly and a lower set of inclined return flow rails forming an exit conveyor upon which a unit load may roll. At the front end of the system is a transfer conveyor assembly that receives a loaded container. The line worker may then operate a damper control pedal that permits the container to be positioned at any desired angle greater than the angle of the input conveyor. This permits enhanced accessibility of the contents of the container regardless of the height or arm length of the line worker or the size and shape of the container contents. When the container is emptied by the line worker, the transfer conveyor assembly is triggered and the empty container is automatically lowered and transferred to the exit conveyor where it rolls down the exit conveyor to the rear of the system for reloading.

Abstract: A container pick and return system is provided having a two-tiered flow rail conveyor system that includes an inclined upper set of feed flow rails forming an input conveyor assembly and a lower set of inclined return flow rails forming an exit conveyor upon which a unit load may roll. At the front end of the system is a transfer conveyor assembly that, upon receipt of a loaded container, automatically and smoothly positions the container at an angle increased from the input conveyor assembly to enhance the accessibility of the contents of the container. When the container is emptied by the line worker, the transfer conveyor assembly is triggered and the empty container is automatically lowered and transferred to the exit conveyor where it rolls down the exit conveyor to the rear of the system for reloading.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to improved advance or release means and mechanisms for use with cart, pallet, slip sheet or unit load storage systems, including flow rack and transfer and return systems.
