Abstract
A modular storage system utilizes a plurality of carts. Each cart has a base with a platform, ends, sides, and end panels attached to and extending upwardly from the ends. The end panels and platform define a storage space that is accessible through one of the sides. The carts also have a truss between the end panels for hanging articles. The carts have wheel assemblies attached to and extending below the base to provide a rolling surface adapted to roll on the floor and a track follower mechanism for engaging a track in the storage facility housing the modular storage system. In one embodiment, the truss height is large enough such that when a hanger is hung from the truss, the truss height prevents the hanger from swinging through an arc greater than about twenty degrees when the modular storage unit is moved in a direction parallel to the track. In another embodiment of the present invention, the truss has dual truss members, one truss member being the truss top and another truss member being the truss bottom.
