    Abstract: A container handling module for an access station in a storage system includes a first container holder, a second container holder, a shuttle, and a rail assembly. The first and second container holders are rotatably mounted to the shuttle via a rotary shaft. Each of the first and second container holders is arranged to accommodate a storage container and is rotatable around an axis of rotation between a first angular position and a second angular position. The second angular position is opposite the first angular position relative to a centreline of the rotary shaft. The shuttle is configured for linear movement in a horizontal direction between a first linear position and a second linear position relative to the rail assembly.

    Abstract: A container handling vehicle for picking up storage containers from a three-dimensional grid of an underlying storage system includes a first set of wheels, for moving the vehicle along a first direction on a rail system in the grid; and a second set of wheels, for moving the vehicle along a second direction on the rail system in the grid, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. A vehicle body includes walls on all sides and forms a quadrilateral footprint. The footprint is defined by horizontal peripheries in the first and second directions of the vehicle body. The container handling vehicle further includes a first section and a second section arranged side-by-side such that a centre point of a footprint of the first section is arranged off centre relative a centre point of the footprint formed by the vehicle body. The first and second sections are separated by a divider element. The first set of wheels includes two pairs of wheels, including a first and third wheel and a second and fourth wheel, respectively, arranged on opposite portions of the first section, wherein the first and third wheel of the first set of wheels are connected to the vehicle body and the second and the fourth wheel of the first set of wheels are connected to the divider element. The second set of wheels includes two pairs of wheels, including a first and third wheel and a second and fourth wheel, respectively, arranged on opposite portions of the vehicle body. Two of the wheels in the second set of wheels are arranged on opposite sides of the second section and the other two wheels in the second set of wheels are arranged on opposite sides of the first section.

    Abstract: An automated storage and retrieval system includes at least one relay module for relaying storage containers between a port column and an access station. The relay module is arranged below a port column. The relay module includes a port station, a first conveyor, a second conveyor, each arranged at a side of the port station, and a lateral displacement device. The port station arranged at a lower end of the port column receives storage containers dropped off from and to be picked up through the port column. The first conveyor is adapted to transport storage containers to an access station. The second conveyor is adapted for transporting storage containers from the access station. The lateral displacement device is coupled to the port station and is arranged to transport storage containers between the port station and the first conveyor, and between the second conveyor and the port station.

    Abstract: A container-handling vehicle for picking up storage containers from a three-dimensional grid of an underlying storage system includes a first set of wheels arranged at opposite sides of a vehicle body, for moving the vehicle along a first direction on the grid; a second set of wheels arranged at opposite sides of the vehicle body, for moving the vehicle along a second direction on the grid, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; and the first set of wheels displaceable in a vertical direction between a first position, wherein the first set of wheels allow movement of the vehicle along the first direction, and a second position, wherein the second set of wheels allow movement of the vehicle along the second direction. The vehicle body surrounds a cavity within which at least a first lifting device and a second lifting device are positioned adjacent to each other, each lifting device is arranged to lift a storage container from the grid and into the cavity, such that a bottom of the storage container is at a level above the lowest level of the second set of wheels.
