ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for transporting or storing in a compact and efficient manner large objects, such as vehicles, whose shape and/or composition do not lend themselves to a high density arrangement. Using automobiles as an example, the apparatus uses trays to support the ends of the automobiles, the trays riding on open rails that are positioned at different levels to permit nesting of automobiles of different sizes and shapes. Some of the rails may be pivoted or be equipped with switches and gates, and the upper rails may have a wider gauge than the lower rails. With this arrangement, and by proper selection of carrier trays to correspond to the gauge of the rails at a particular level, damaged or otherwise undriveable vehicles can be loaded and transported as well as vehicles that are driveable.
