The invention relates to a transport and handover system for storing and removing or relocating storage goods (1) in high-bay warehouses (2), in particular in a transshipment facility of a seaport or inland port for the storage of standard containers, wherein the high-bay warehouse (2) consists of an arbitrary number of warehouse modules (10), which are arranged next to each other in the longitudinal direction and in the width direction of the high-bay warehouse (2) extending transversely to the longitudinal direction and which have a plurality of rack compartments (12) lying one over the other in the vertical direction, said warehouse modules being separated from each other by aisles (11) extending parallel to the storing and removal sides of the rack compartments (12) or warehouse modules (10), wherein at least one storage and retrieval machine (19) that can move back and forth is provided in each aisle (11) for transporting and storing and removing or relocating the storage goods (1), and a storage and retrieval machine (19). Accelerated transfer with fewer steel constructions is achieved in that the high-bay warehouse (2) is designed with at least one transverse conveying device (13; 113), which crosses at least some aisles (11) and conveys the supplied storage goods (1) into the high-bay warehouse (2) and/or out of the high-bay warehouse. For handling of the storage goods (1) provided from below the level of the running rails (20), the base bar of the storage and retrieval machine (19) is designed with a passage opening in a frame-like manner so that the storage goods (1) can be lifted through.

A system for transporting containers using heavy goods vehicles which comprises a separate operating region in which the heavy goods vehicles can be operated, with at least one automated heavy goods vehicle and at least one manually driven heavy goods vehicle being operated together in a mixed traffic situation in the separate operating region.

A modular warehouse system and its assembly method are provided. A plurality of storage containers is combined to form a combined storage area, which is provided with a track assembly, a bin gripping robot, and a plurality of bins. An internal space of at least one track-switching container is in communication with the internal space of at least one of the plurality of storage containers. The track-switching container is provided with a track-switching device therein, and the track-track-switching device is configured to switch the bin gripping robot in at least one of the storage containers from a current running track where the bin gripping robot is located to a target running track. An internal space of at least one outbound-inbound container is in communication with the internal space of the track-switching container. The outbound-inbound container is provided with an outbound-inbound device for performing goods outbound-inbound operations.

A system and method for intermodal container transport that utilizes swarm intelligence and the autonomous locating, lifting, supporting and moving via robots working in conjunction. A port central command locates and releases robots to the container location and then transports the container to its destination.

A moving device is provided with a first moving body and a second moving body. First cord-shaped bodies are fed out from first feed-out length changing units provided on first feed-out units. The first cord-shaped bodies are connected to the first moving body. Second cord-shaped bodies are fed out from second feed-out length changing units provided on second feed-out units. The second cord-shaped bodies are connected to the second moving body. Further, the first moving body and the second moving body are connected to each other through a third cord-shaped body.

The present invention describes a bulk fluid (wet or dry) cargo distribution terminal (10). The distribution terminal has a silo storage area (10A), a compartmentalized area (10B) which has designated inspecting, refilling and delivering/stacking stations (10C-10E). These storage and compartment areas are protected by fortified walls (11a-11e). Adjacent to the inspecting, refilling and delivering stations is a driveway (14). Trailers and prime movers carry IMO tanks and/or freight containers (22) for refilling or delivering. Located at entry and exit points of the driveway are guard-houses (72a,72b) to ensure safe operation at the distribution terminal. Overhead cranes (41a-41c) serve mechanical handling at the various stations and driveway.

An unloading arrangement, an unloading station, and a method of unloading an item (5) from a storage container (6), comprising: a delivery vehicle (30); a storage container (6) carried by the delivery vehicle (30); and an unloading station (10) for unloading an item (5) from the storage container (6) while it is being carried by the delivery vehicle (30) in an automatic storage and retrieval system (1), the unloading station (10) comprising: an unloading device (40); and a destination conveyor (60) configured to convey the item (5) to a target destination (TD), wherein the unloading device (40) is configured to move the item (5) through a side opening of the storage container (6) to the destination conveyor (60).

An automated lumber handling method laser-scans the top profile of multiple stacks of lumber, each of which contain boards of a unique size. Based on the scanned profiles, the method determines the order in which individual boards from a chosen stack should be transferred to a numerically controlled saw. The saw cuts the boards to size and in proper sequence to facilitate orderly assembly of a roof truss or prefabricated wall. In some examples, the method lifts individual boards by driving two retractable screws, or some other piercing tool, down into the upward facing surface of the board. A track mounted cantilever, holding the screws and a laser unit, translates over the lumber stacks to retrieve and deliver individual boards and, while doing so, the laser repeatedly scans the stacked lumber profiles on-the-fly to continuously update the profiles. The open cantilever design facilitates replenishing the stacks of lumber.
