Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a goods stowage unit comprising a framework, a set of vertical parallel storage elements mounted between two parallel vertical reference planes spaced from one another, each storage element extending obliquely with respect to said reference planes. Part of the storage elements are stationary, the other being movable in their own planes along guides provided in the framework. The unit allows the goods to be stored, handled, distributed and displayed in an integrated form.
