ABSTRACT:
A cradle assembly for moving and positioning an item with respect to a support module in a storage assembly with the item including a bottom. The cradle assembly comprises a plurality of cradle beams, at least one cradle wall vertically extending upward from the plurality of cradle beams, and at least one stanchion vertically extending upward from one of the cradle beams. A padded support is operatively attached to the stanchion and positioned to engage the bottom of the item as a cradle assembly moves the item with respect to the support module. A positioning system is operatively connected to the padded support to horizontally and vertically position the padded support with respect to the plurality of the cradle beams to selectively engage the bottom of the item. Each stanchion and padded support includes a reciprocal stanchion and padded support, wherein positioning system selectively spaces the reciprocal padded supports from each other a width that is less than the width of the item being transported.
