A transport device includes a plurality of transport conveyors. Each of the plurality of transport conveyors includes: a plurality of receiving portions configured to receive articles; a loading portion configured to deliver articles transported by the transport conveyor and to load the articles to the automated storages; and a transport portion configured to transport articles received at the receiving portions to the plurality of loading portions. The transport portion included in each of the plurality of transport conveyors is installed such that a movement trajectory of articles transported by the transport portion does not overlap a movement trajectory of articles transported by another transport portion. A plurality of loading portions that deliver articles to the lift base of each one of the automated storages are installed at different heights.

A flow rack assembly includes a support structure. A supply track assembly supported by the support structure extends in a longitudinal direction. The supply track assembly declines in elevation from a component supply location to a component pick location. A return track assembly is supported by the support structure that extends in the longitudinal direction. The return track assembly declines in elevation from the component pick location to a tray storage location. A transition support shelf is rotatably connected to the support structure at a pivot location. The transition support shelf is rotatable about the pivot location due to gravity between a component pick configuration that receives component trays from the supply track assembly and a tray transition configuration that delivers component trays to the return track assembly.

The present disclosure provides a buffer device for temporarily storing an article container for containing an article to be picked up, including: a placing unit on which the article container is placed and which is configured to transport the placed article container in a direction away from a pick-up area; a supply unit which supplies the article container from the pick-up area to an end area on a side of the placing unit close to the pick-up area; a movable carriage unit which is configured to travel in a transport direction of the article container in the placing unit and which allows the article container to be placed; and a transfer device which transfers the article container at least between the placing unit and the movable carriage unit.

A lift gate apparatus includes a movable conveyor device and a bracket. The movable conveyor device is configured to transition between a conveying position and a non-conveying position. The bracket configured to bridge a gap between the movable conveyor device and a fixed conveyor device, wherein the bracket pivots and slides over the fixed conveyor device when the movable conveyor device is transitioned from the conveying position to the non-conveying position.

A modular system for material storage and conveying having a layered storage section with two or more storage layers having conveyors, the layered storage section being associated with a load section and a delivery section having their own conveyors at each end of the layered storage section, and elevators that can selectively position the load and delivery section at operational heights of the conveyors of the layered storage section.

The present disclosure provides for a service rack system including a service rack and one or more totes. Each of the one or more totes have a full indicator and a refill indicator. The service rack includes front, back, right, and left sides. The front side is directly opposite the back side. The service rack also includes a panel on each of the right and left sides, at least one supply rack angled towards the front side, and at least one return rack angled towards the back side. The at least one supply rack is constructed to support one or more columns of totes such that each column includes at least two totes. Each column of totes has a full state and a refill state.

An inverted carrier lift and method is disclosed. The inverted carrier lift includes a trolley movable along an overhead conveyor and a carrier for supporting a workpiece to undergo an assembly or manufacturing process. The carrier is movable relative to the trolley from a raised position to a lowered position by a motor engaged with a lifting mechanism on the trolley. On rotation of the motor, the carrier and supported workpiece is lowered or raised to position the workpiece in the workstation for processing. The workpiece may be disengaged by the carrier for support of the workpiece by one of many different fixtures depending on the processing. Following processing, the workpiece is re-engaged by the carrier, moved to a raised position and the trolley is transferred to a subsequent workstation.

Structure protector (5), wherein these structures (5) are shelves, doors, pillars or similar and have support legs (6), which comprises a covering element (1) of the support legs (6), formed by a profile (1.1) with a C-shaped section suitable for being adjusted on the exterior lateral contour of said support legs (6) and with a support base (1.2) to the ground and at least one element with a hollow truncated pyramid shape (2), with three inclined sides (2.1) and one open side, an open lower base and an upper base, which is open towards the open side, which has a horizontal flat surface (2.2) in the contour corresponding to the three inclined sides (2.1), where the shape of the interior contour of this horizontal flat surface (2.2) is suitable for fitting the surface around the covering element (1).

A goods display rack according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least one goods transfer unit configured so as to transfer goods placed on an upper surface to a withdrawal position; a front fixing profile arranged on the front of the goods display rack so as to attachably/detachably fix a front end of the goods transfer unit; and a rear fixing profile arranged on the rear of the goods display rack so as to attachably/detachably fix a rear end of the goods transfer unit, wherein the goods transfer unit is configured so as to slide to the left and right sides in a position-adjustable area between the front fixing profile and the rear fixing profile, in a state in which the front end and the rear end thereof are respectively mounted in the front fixing profile and the rear fixing profile.

A locking device for locking a wheel track (30) of a carton flow bed rack to an end beam (10; 20) of the carton flow bed rack in a mounting position includes a locking plate (50) for connecting the wheel track (30) to the end beam (10; 20) and a cover rail (40) for fixing the locking plate (50) to the wheel track (30). The locking plate (50) has a mounting end (51) configured to engage the end beam (10; 20) in the mounting position. The locking plate (50) further has an elongated protrusion (52) configured to protrude out of the end beam (10; 20) in the mounting position. The cover rail (40) is configured to encase at least partially both the protrusion (52) of the locking plate (50) and an end section of the wheel track (30) in the mounting position.
