Abstract
A method for storing piece goods of different dimensions in storage channels conveys the goods to the channels using a piece goods receiving device movable along the channels in an x direction and into the channels using a transport device extendible into the channels in a z direction. The goods are stored tightly-packed in the channels. A width dimension of the goods is detected and the goods are assigned to the different width classes. The goods are supplied to a pick-up station selectively according to width classes using a conveying system, then transferred to the receiving device, and using the transport device a group of goods is moved from the receiving device into the channel simultaneously in a storage direction and in a depth direction of the channel so that a lateral wall of the rearmost good in the storage direction is substantially flush with the channel end edge.
