The present disclosure relates to a gripper for forming slugs of flat baked products, comprising a longitudinal retainer arranged for individually loading the flat baked products and comprising elongated wall elements extending along a longitudinal direction of the gripper for enclosing the retainer forming a retainer space for retaining the flat baked products a loading element, arranged for displacement of at least a contact surface thereof which is located adjacent a segment of the circumference of a loaded flat baked product near a free end of the retaining space; and wherein the gripper is arranged for displacement of the contact surface of the loading element enabling individually loading the flat baked products for forming the slug in the retainer space, and wherein the gripper is further arranged for rotating the longitudinal retainer over a rotation-axis in a plane parallel to a supporting surface of the conveyer means at the input for bringing the slug from a horizontal vertical orientation into a vertical horizontal orientation, and wherein at least one of the elongated wall elements is arranged for displacement thereof for unloading the vertical horizontally oriented slug into the conveyor means of the packing device.

A method for operating a storage arrangement, in goods are inserted into the storage arrangement in an inbound delivery container at an incoming goods area, are removed from the inbound delivery container, are temporarily stored and are removed from the storage arrangement in a predetermined sequence in an outbound delivery container at an outgoing goods area. The goods are transferred from the inbound delivery container into a stackable packaging unit and the packaging unit is temporarily stored in a block storage unit. The block storage unit has multiple stacking compartments and each stacking compartment is designed to receive a stack of packaging units. The goods are removed from the block storage unit in a sequence predetermined by the outgoing goods area.

A stack storage assembly with container stacking spaces, a charging space arranged below the container stacking spaces, and a charging vehicle movable in the charging space having a hoisting device to move a container into or out of a container stacking space. Each of the container stacking spaces has, at a lower end, a retaining device with at least one retaining element, which is movable, via an actuating device arranged on the charging vehicle, between a retaining position in which the at least one retaining element holds the container arranged in the container stacking spaces and a release position in which the container is relocated past the retaining element. The charging vehicle has at least one fixing element positionable into a fixing position to interact with the at least one retaining element located in the release position, and to hold the at least one retaining element in the release position.

A container stacking storage system loading trolley that includes a chassis and a height-adjustable container seat that includes a receiving region with a container contact surface, wherein a lifting device that operates in a lifting direction is arranged between the chassis and the container seat. The container stacking storage system operates in an economical manner, whereby a bearing arrangement is arranged between the container seat and the chassis, which bearing arrangement enables a movement of the container seat transversely to the lifting direction relative to the chassis.

A block stacking arrangement having multiple container stacking slots and a loading space arranged below the container stacking slots in a direction of gravity, a pass-through opening being arranged between each container stacking slot and the loading space, via which a container can be moved out of the loading space into the container stacking slot or from the container stacking slot into the loading space and which has a holding device. Good flexibility of the block stacking arrangement is achieved at least because at least two pass-through openings have different sizes.

Stacking storage arrangement including at least one container receiving space: a loading space which is arranged below the container receiving space: a frame assembly between the container receiving space and the loading space; and an upright on at least one corner of the container receiving space, which is connected to the frame assembly by at least one connecting device. The connecting device bridges an angle between the frame assembly and the upright and abuts the frame assembly in a clamping manner.

Block storage arrangement and method. The block storage arrangement includes at least one container receiving space; a loading space below, in a direction of gravity, the at least one container receiving space; at least one loading vehicle, which can be moved in the loading space to a position below the at least one container receiving space, having a lifting device; and a container detecting device arranged at an upper end, in the direction of gravity, of the at least one container receiving space. A lifting movement of the lifting device is interrupted when the container detecting device detects a container passing the container detecting device.

A block stacking arrangement that includes a plurality of container receiving slots; a loading space arranged in the direction of gravity below the container receiving slots; a pass-through opening between each of the container receiving slots and the loading space; and a holding device at the pass-through opening, which has at least one holding pawl that is pivotable between a holding position and a release position. The holding pawl has a cutout that, in the holding position, is directed into the pass-through opening.

Block stacking arrangement that includes a plurality of container receiving slots, a loading space arranged below the container receiving slots in a direction of gravity, a pass-through opening between respective container receiving slots and the loading space, and a holding device, which is arranged in the pass-through opening, having a flap pivotable about a shaft between a holding position and a release position. The shaft is mounted in an edge of the pass-through opening, and the shaft is mounted at at least one end in a bolt socket that is upwardly open in the direction of gravity. The block stacking arrangement further includes a shaft hold-down device, which is fastened to the edge of the pass-through opening, arranged at least partially above the bolt socket in the direction of gravity to act on the end of the shaft.

A block storage arrangement that includes a plurality of container stacking spaces, a loading space arranged below the container stacking spaces, and at least one loading vehicle which is movable in the loading space and has a lifting arrangement, with which containers can be loaded from below into a container stacking space and can be removed from below from the container stacking space. It would be desirable to enable a high productivity of the block storage arrangement. For this purpose, the lifting arrangement includes at least two lifting units that can be actuated independently of one another.
