Abstract
A storage system includes a storage grid structure having a top rail grid upon which container handling vehicles work to store and retrieve storage containers in and from storage columns beneath the top rail grid. The storage system includes multiple transfer rails forming a horizontal transfer rail grid arranged at a level below the top rail grid. At least one transport vehicle operates on the transfer rail grid. The storage system includes a picking/stocking station for picking/stocking items between a storage container and a packaging box, and an unloading/loading assembly for unloading/loading packaging boxes containing such items. The transport vehicle is arranged to move upon the transfer rail grid in two perpendicular directions and comprises a carrier platform. The transfer rail grid is arranged to allow access for the transport vehicle to transport one or more packaging boxes at a time between the picking/stocking station and the unloading/loading assembly.
