A method and apparatus for the disposition of loads movable on wheels, e.g., roller pallets or their equivalent, in a storage area consisting of one or more storage levels located one above the other and provided with collateral flow-through channels for the loads, the storage levels being arranged either horizontally or with a slight downward inclination towards the output end, provides that each storage channel has a conveyor rail mechanism which, by utilization of a conveyor rail, both guides and conveys the loads of goods in the channel.

Apparatus for storing and conveying roller pallets or equivalent

This invention concerns dual rail transportation system (1) used with roller pallets on which the wheels (2) of at least one pair of wheels are swiveling. On the margins of the running surface (5) of one rail (4) have been provided relatively low steering flanges (6) with a spacing (a) nearly the same as the breath (b) of the wheel traveling thereon. The other rail has a flat running surface sufficiently wider than the surface (5) of the one rail (4) to permit swiveling of the wheel traveling thereon. The roller pallet will hereby be steered with high accuracy on the rails.
