Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a carriage lift assembly comprising: at least one frame element configured to secure the carriage lift assembly relative to a first mast and a second mast; and at least one spreader arm extending laterally and defining at least a portion of a lift width; wherein the spreader arm width of the spreader arm comprises a selectively adjustable configuration, wherein the lift width is configured to be selectively adjustable based at least in part on the adjustable configuration of the spreader arm width. In various embodiments, the at least one spreader arm comprises an at least partially resilient configuration such that, in response to a force acting on the spreader arm in one or more directions, the spreader arm may exhibit a movement in the one or more directions so as to absorb at least a portion of the force.

Abstract: A lift structure of a rack storage system including a pair of vertical post, a pair of guide rail portions stacked one on top of the other, a mounting brace, and a mounting platform attached to the pair of vertical post. The mounting brace includes an adjustment mechanism to adjust an alignment between the pair of guide rail portions fastened together by a clamping plate. A load handling station is secured to the mounting platform to support loads transported to and from the rack storage system, wherein the load handling station is located by locating a position of the mounting platform.

Abstract: A conveyor carriage movable on a guide rail. The conveyor carriage includes a conveyor frame; a pair of side rails spaced apart from each other; and a load carrying portion coupled to the pair of side rails. A drop-down plate hingedly mounted to the conveyor frame and positioned in between the pair of side rails. The drop-down plate is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the drop-down plate encloses a component of the conveyor carriage in the closed position. The conveyor carriage to pick up and deposit loads from and to a load handling station. The load handling station including a control box with a pivotable lid to enclose one or more components of the load handling station in the closed position.
