Abstract
A grid framework structure includes a track system for a first type of robotic load handling device having a different sized footprint relative to a second type of robotic load handling device. A first portion includes first, second and third sets of parallel tracks to define a first set of grid cells with a first type grid cell opening. A second portion includes cells of the first set of grid cells and a second set of grid cells having a second type grid cell opening. Upright columns form vertical storage locations for storage containers A dimension of the second type grid cell opening is a multiple of the dimension of the first type grid cell opening. One or more of the second set of grid cells is neighboured by at least two grid cells of the first type of grid cells.
