Abstract: A service vehicle provides a platform for servicing a container handling vehicle while on a grid-based rail system of a three-dimensional storage grid of an automated storage system for storing storage containers. The service vehicle includes two or more wheel modules. Each module having a first set of wheels configured to move the vehicle along a first lateral direction of the grid-based rail system and a second set of wheels configured to move the vehicle along a second lateral direction of the grid-based rail system. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. A platform is mounted on the two or more wheel modules. The platform includes an enclosure that has at least one opening that can be closed by a barrier. The platform has a set of tracks matching the width of the tracks on the grid.

Abstract: A remotely operated vehicle for an automated storage and retrieval system moves a product item between a storage container stored in an automated storage and retrieval grid configured to store a plurality of stacks of storage containers, and a further container. The remotely operated vehicle includes a vehicle body; a wheel arrangement connected to the vehicle body configured to move the remotely operated vehicle along a rail system of the automated storage and retrieval system; and a picking system for moving the product item between the storage container and the further container. The vehicle includes a container lifting device configured to carry the further container. The picking system includes a picking arm having a first end connected to the vehicle body and a second end. The picking system includes a holding mechanism for releasably holding of the product item. The holding mechanism is provided in the second end of the picking arm.
