Abstract
A container-handling vehicle includes a lifting shaft having first and second end sections, a motor for rotating the lifting shaft, a lifting frame for releasably connecting to a storage container, and a first pair of lifting bands and a second pair of lifting bands connecting the lifting shaft to the lifting frame. Each lifting band has a first end connected to the lifting shaft and a second end connected to the lifting frame. Each pair of lifting bands has a first lifting band connected at the first end section of the lifting shaft and a second lifting band connected at the second end section of the lifting shaft. The first pair of lifting bands extends in a substantially horizontal direction from the lifting shaft towards a band guiding assembly arranged to change the direction of the first pair of lifting bands to extend in a vertical direction. The second pair of lifting bands extends in a vertical direction from the lifting shaft at the side of the lifting shaft facing away from the band guiding assembly.
