Abstract: The present disclosure aims to provide a charge unit for a robotic load handling device which reduces the wear/damage experienced by charge contacts of the charge unit and provides a solution whereby easier servicing of the charge unit can be accomplished. A charge unit for a robotic load handling device is operative on top of a grid framework. The charge unit includes a power transfer device is arranged to inductively transfer power to the robotic load handling device, and a supporting structure fixedly attached to a grid framework to position the housing over the grid framework.
