Abstract: A leveling foot having a base section with a raised, hollow column. A spring is arranged in the hollow column. A moveable top piece engages the column, and is movable in the vertical direction against the force of the spring. The top piece is slightly larger than the column, such that side walls of the top piece overlap the sides of the column when the spring is compressed. The bottom edges of the side walls of the top piece are angled. A generally U-shaped wedge device is provided that may be pressed into engagement with the base section, whereby a leg of the U engages each side of the column. The top surfaces of the legs of the U-shaped device are angled in the form of wedges, the angles of the top surfaces of the legs corresponding to the angles of the side walls of the movable top piece, such that the side walls of the top piece will rest upon the angled top surfaces of the legs of the wedge device when the top piece is under load.

Abstract: A vehicle operated cleaning bin for cleaning a storage grid of a storage system includes a connector suitable for attaching the cleaning bin to a lifting device of a remotely operating vehicle being configured to vertically convey the cleaning bin into the storage grid by aid of the lifting device. Further, the vehicle operated cleaning bin includes a cleaner provided for removing foreign debris from the storage grid.

Abstract: Method and systems for storing and transporting a plurality of storage bins to and from an upper and a lower location of a three dimensional storage grid, which is constructed by columns interconnected by top rails. The system includes a movable continuous chain running from the upper location to the lower location of said storage grid. The chain may have compartments fitted for holding the bins. Robot vehicles are running on the upper location of the storage grid. These are adapted for loading and unloading bins 4 from the compartments in the chain. A control system is configured for controlling loading and unloading of the bins from the compartments in the chain.

Abstract: A remotely operated vehicle, for picking up a storage bin from an underlying storage system, may include a vehicle body having a cavity adapted to contain the entire storage bin, vehicle rolling means for movement of the vehicle on the underlying storage system, and a lifting assembly for lifting the storage bin from the underlying storage system to a position above the lowest level of the vehicle rolling means. Additionally, the lifting assembly may include a lifting frame, a rotatable lifting shaft, a first lifting band assembly, and a second lifting band assembly. Further, the lifting frame is connectable to the storage bin and the rotatable lifting shaft is arranged in an upper part of the vehicle body.

Abstract: The invention concerns a remotely operated vehicle assembly for picking up storage bins from a storage system and a method for change of vehicle direction.
