Abstract
A method and an apparatus are particularly suitable for storing, unstoring, or relocating goods carriers of various dimensions, such as loaded or empty freight containers, in a multi-storied storage facility. The storage facility includes a storage rack having several storage levels with several storage locations or compartments on each storage level. A storage conveyor device is horizontally and vertically movable along the storage rack to carry a freight container to a selected storage compartment on a selected storage level. Depending on the dimensions of the freight container, and whether several containers are to be stored in a single storage compartment, each container can be deposited at a particular position within the storage compartment. The particular final position of each container within the storage compartment can be predetermined. Each container is first prepositioned at a preliminary position on the conveyor device corresponding to the preselected final position at which the container is to be deposited within the storage compartment. Then, the goods conveyor deposits the container at the preselected final position within the preselected storage compartment.
