Abstract

Abstract A unit goods storage includes racks (1) a frame-work (2) of which is made up each of vertical masts giving support to stacks of cantilever shelves (3,4) facing each other with their free sides so as to form vertical passages each containing a horizontal conveyor (5) the ends of the frames of which extend beyond the framework (2). All ends of the frames of the conveyors (5) are interlinked by stiff members (6) so as to form therewith a gridwork (7) capable of displacing up and down the height of the storage under the action of a drive (8).
