Abstract: A storage system, including a plurality of storage units located on a transport conveyor that has at least a U-shaped or randomly partially curved design. The storage units are arranged similarly parallel at least along straight areas of the transport conveyor. The storage units can be rotated on swivel axes that are oriented essentially at a right angle to the transport conveyor. During the movement of the storage unit (2) into the curved area of the transport conveyor the storage unit (2) remains essentially parallel to the next storage unit (2) and swivels on the swivel axis of the moved storage unit (2).
