  • Patent number: 11273984
    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.

  • Patent number: 10882693
    Abstract: A high-bay warehouse for metal coils includes a plurality of storage modules. The storage modules are lined up in longitudinal rows and transverse in the depth directions thereof. The storage modules have a plurality of compartments arranged one above the other. Storage modules are separated by aisles extending parallel to a storage and retrieval sides of the storage modules. At least one storage-and-retrieval unit, which can be displaced back and forth, is provided in each aisle. The storage-and-retrieval units have a frame. On vertical uprights of the frame a lifting bridge is formed with at least one telescopic holder, which can be moved in and out in an orthogonally relative to the aisle. The storage-and-retrieval unit, on its at least one telescopic holder, has a C-shaped carrying which, beneath the telescopic holder, has a horizontally running pin which can be moved into a middle opening of the respective coil.

  • Publication number: 20160347543
    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).
