Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and system for storing containers (1a, 1b) in, and retrieving the containers from, a storage rack (2) including storage rack levels (3) arranged one above the other. Containers can be stored in, and retrieved from, said storage rack levels by a satellite vehicle (4). The containers can be displaced horizontally to and from a lift (5) preferably located in a storage rack passage (G), and can also be moved vertically in the lift, along with the satellite vehicle, to at least one conveyor mechanism level (E) in the region of the storage rack. The containers being transported on the satellite vehicle to and from the conveyor mechanism level are loaded and unloaded on the level of the conveyor mechanism level. The satellite vehicle (4) is loaded and unloaded on the level of the conveyor mechanism level (E) using a loading and unloading device (V) arranged outside of the satellite vehicle, and which is preferably stationary.
