Abstract: Lateral guidance transportation systems include at least one route, on which at least one transportation vehicle is guided as the main vehicle. The main vehicle is energized by a primary circuit having a contact wire arranged along the route, or contactlessly. The main vehicle includes a lifting platform that is drivable by a drive, and on which there is at least one satellite vehicle. The satellite vehicle also includes a drive for automatically moving along an additional route, and which is arranged for transporting goods. The additional route includes a satellite route section for the positioning and parking of the satellite vehicle. The satellite route section is truly alignable, by positioning the main vehicle on satellite routes arranged transversely to the route, on shelves. Satellite route sections and satellite routes include primary conductors energized contactlessly by the main vehicle.

Abstract: Lateral guidance transportation systems include at least one route made up of carrier elements and lateral guidance elements, on which at least one transportation vehicle is guided as the main vehicle, which has device(s) for automatically moving along the route, and to which energy is transmitted by a primary circuit having a contact wire arranged along the route, or in a contactless manner. The main vehicle includes a lifting platform that is able to be driven by a drive, especially, for example, an electric motor or a geared motor, and on which there is at least one satellite vehicle that is also includes a drive, such as, for example, an electric motor or a geared motor, for automatically moving along an additional route, and which is arranged for transporting goods. The route includes a satellite route section for the positioning and parking of the satellite vehicle.
