Abstract: A storage assembly comprising load carriers which carry the goods to be stored and are vertically stackable in a plurality of vertical piles closely disposed to each other. The assembly includes pile beds having fixedly disposed support members which support the pile of load carriers at a spaced distance above the floor of the storage plant. At least one carriage is disposed to move below each vertical pile for insertion of the load carriers in the piles and for removal of them therefrom. Each load carrier includes stationary downwardly extending rest members which cooperate with complementary upwardly extending support members secured on each pile bed. The rest members of the lower load carrier of the pile are arranged to be brought out of and into engagement with the support members of the pile bed by vertical movement of the load carriers, which movement is performed by the carriage.
