Abstract
A system for delivering storage containers comprises a carrier framework for integration into a cargo compartment of a vehicle, and a transfer platform, wherein the carrier framework is a spatial framework configured to store a plurality of storage containers to be delivered in a plurality of individual storage spaces forming a carrier grid having vertical carrier columns, wherein the carrier framework comprises at least one access device configured to selectively present the individual storage containers received by and stored in the carrier framework to a user outside the carrier framework or outside a vehicle into which the carrier framework is integrated, wherein the transfer platform is connectable to or integratable into a framework structure of a storage grid of an automated storage and retrieval system to form a cantilever structure at the storage grid, beneath which the carrier framework or a vehicle, into which the carrier framework is integrated, is placeable, wherein the transfer platform has a transfer grid having a plurality of transfer grid cells, for receiving a storage container from or for sending a storage container into the framework structure of the storage grid, wherein the transfer grid cells are open at their bottom, and wherein the carrier grid and the transfer grid correlate in their horizontal cell arrangement and cell size, such that, when the carrier columns are arranged beneath the transfer grid cells, storage containers can be lowered from the transfer platform into the carrier framework.
