Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for multi-level storage systems to facilitate movement of shuttles across a multi-level storage structure for retrieving, loading, unloading, and moving packages. The multi-level storage system may include the multi-level storage structure for storing packages, which may be placed into containers and positioned on a container tray. Shuttles may navigate the multi-level storage system to load and unload containers. Each shuttle may hold one or more container and may include one or more actuator systems to load and unload the containers. The actuator systems may include a motor connected to a tether fixed to one or more protrusions which may enter a channel under a container tray to move the container tray onto the shuttle or may unload the container off the shuttle.
