At least one robot operates above the grid, which is capable of picking up, transporting and depositing bins. The robot includes elements for gripping and lifting at least one bin. A plurality of removable covers above the grid form a circulation platform for the robot. The robot includes elements for pushing, pulling and/or lifting the covers to change the position of the covers to free access to the upper part of the columns.
