Abstract

See full text

An active high volume storage carousel provides an improved drive system. The carousel includes a driven conveyor, which defines a continuous path and includes at least one container handling location along the continuous path. A track rail extends around the continuous path and provides vertical support for a plurality of storage columns, which are drivingly coupled to the conveyor by couplers. When the storage columns are moved through the container handling location, at least one of the storage columns is drivingly decoupled from the driven conveyor so that the decoupled storage column can be easily loaded with or unloaded of containers.
