  • Patent number: 12545507
    Abstract: A load handling system for storage racking includes a horizontal guide rail system integrated with the storage racking and a vertical guide rail assembly that moves horizontally along the horizontal guide rail system via a first motor. A load handling platform, coupled to the vertical guide rail assembly, is vertically movable along the assembly by a second motor. The system further comprises a load transition station connected to the storage racking, where a load handling device on the load handling platform transfers loads between the storage racking and the load transition station. Additionally, a ground handling device facilitates the movement of loads between the load transition station and other locations within a storage facility, enhancing the efficiency of load management and distribution.

  • Patent number: 12459732
    Abstract: A load handling system may comprise an upper horizontal guide rail and a lower horizontal guide rail coupled with storage racking, a vertical guide rail assembly slidably coupled with the upper horizontal guide rail and the lower horizontal guide rail, a first horizontal drive motor coupled with the vertical guide rail assembly configured to move the vertical guide rail assembly horizontally along the upper horizontal guide rail and the lower horizontal guide rail, a load handling platform slidably coupled with the vertical guide rail assembly, a vertical drive motor coupled with the load handling platform configured to move the load handling platform vertically along the vertical guide rail assembly to position the load handling platform so that a load handling device coupled with the load handling platform is position to manipulate a load located in the storage racking.

  • Publication number: 20250276850
    Abstract: A load handling system for storage racking includes a first bracket assembly for coupling a first horizontal guide rail to the storage racking, featuring a first racking column adapter with a column connection portion for attachment to a racking column and a support member extending perpendicularly. A first horizontal guide rail support device is coupled to the support member to secure the guide rail. A second bracket assembly similarly couples a second horizontal guide rail, with a second racking column adapter and a second guide rail support device. A vertical guide rail assembly, coupled to both horizontal guide rails, is horizontally movable along them via a first motor. A load handling platform, attached to the vertical guide rail assembly, is vertically movable along the vertical guide rail assembly by a second motor, facilitating efficient load handling within the storage racking system.
