Definitions

  • the present application relates to high density storage facilities, and more particularly to high density storage facilities for storing intermodal containers, boats and other large items.
  • conventional boat storage facilities include a large building with racks aligned along the walls and a large unoccupied floor space. This results in a large amount of unused space, as depicted in FIG. 1 .
  • Container terminals for storing and retrieving intermodal containers exhibit similar problems.
  • Conventional facilities consume large areas of valuable seaport acreage. Because conventional facilities may use numerous aisles and provide wide spaces between intermodal containers, and because such containers are generally randomly placed and widely spaced, many terminal operators have difficulty in controlling the storage, retrieval and delivery of the containers. This often results in time consuming and costly repositioning and searching operations for displaced containers.
  • a high density storage facility including a storage area.
  • Storage racks divided from top to bottom into storage slots, may be provided in the storage area.
  • the storage area may be in a building including a wall, with doors disposed along the length of the wall for providing access to the ends of the racks.
  • the storage racks may be open and accessible for inserting and removing objects.
  • the racks may be riding on movable carriages, which may be coupled and disposed in rows within the storage area, and the carriages may include a mechanism for moving the racks.
  • the carriage racks may further be coupled and uncoupled along the width of the enclosed storage area for providing access to the width ends of the racks from the doors.
  • the carriage racks may be connected and disconnected along their lengthwise sides, forming rows which are rollably movable in a widthwise direction along the storage area. Tracks for rolling the carriage racks may extend along the width of the storage area.
  • the carriages include motor mechanisms for moving the racks across a portion of the storage area.
  • rows of carriage racks are disposed within the storage area.
  • the number of carriage racks may be chosen such as to leave a portion of the floor area unoccupied, of a size sufficient to provide access from optional doors to the width ends of the carriage racks upon selective movement of the rows along the width of the storage area.
  • the doors are selectively disposed along the wall of the building so as to provide access to the unoccupied floor area upon selective movement of one or more of the carriage racks in the rows of carriage racks along the width of the storage area.
  • the unoccupied floor area may be selected to be of such size as to accommodate manipulation of the objects within the unoccupied floor area for insertion into the slots.
  • the unoccupied floor area may further be selected to be of such a size as to be accessible to the doors upon movement of one or more of the carriage racks in the rows of carriage racks along the width of the floor area.
  • the facility may include a row of stationary racks arranged along the doorless widthwise side of the storage area, the stationary racks having a certain length, width and height and being divided from top to bottom into storage slots.
  • the slots may extend the length of the racks, and may be open and accessible from a width end for inserting and removing objects.
  • the width ends of the racks may face the storage area.
  • a row of racks may include a series of spaced vertical supports interconnected by a series of spaced horizontal supports.
  • the horizontal supports may be adjustable in position along the height of the vertical supports.
