Abstract: Containers can be stored, retrieved, or moved in multilevel storage racks of a transfer facility by storage and retrieval units that can travel in aisles extending parallel to respective rows of compartments of storage units of the multilevel storage rack that, for longitudinal side storage of the containers, has a plurality of storage units of a depth corresponding to a container width that are consecutively arranged in rows longitudinally of the containers along one aisle side and are each separated transversely by one aisle. The storage and retrieval units can move back forth in the aisles and have raisable and lowerable telescopic grabs that can be extended and retracted transversely to the aisles for suspending a container. Corners supports in each of the compartments support the containers only at corners of the containers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a container transfer installation (2, 102) for placing containers into and removing containers from or transferring containers (1) in high-rack or block storage arcs (3, 15) of a seaport or inland port within a container transfer installation (2, 102) having an integrated, fully automatic container transport system.

Abstract: A method for storing and retrieving or shifting containers (4, 34) in high-bay warehouses (1) of a transfer facility, in particular of a sea port or inland port, wherein the containers (4, 34) are transported, and stored and retrieved or shifted, by storage-and-retrieval units (7) which can be displaced in aisles (6) extending parallel to compartments (3) of the high-bay warehouse (1), said compartments being arranged on a number of levels in storage modules (2). The intention is to create, for such a high-bay warehouse (1), a method and an apparatus which reduce usage of transporting means and, with the high-hay warehouse (1) being of narrow construction, make it possible for any individual container (4, 34) to be accessed even by floor-going stackers (7).
