Abstract
Containers can be stored, retrieved, or moved in multilevel storage racks of a transfer facility by storage and retrieval units that can travel in aisles extending parallel to respective rows of compartments of storage units of the multilevel storage rack that, for longitudinal side storage of the containers, has a plurality of storage units of a depth corresponding to a container width that are consecutively arranged in rows longitudinally of the containers along one aisle side and are each separated transversely by one aisle. The storage and retrieval units can move back forth in the aisles and have raisable and lowerable telescopic grabs that can be extended and retracted transversely to the aisles for suspending a container. Corners supports in each of the compartments support the containers only at corners of the containers.
