ABSTRACT:
A large capacity mobile storage system having a plurality of storage units and a plurality of interconnected support assemblies for rolling movement. Each of the support assemblies includes a frame and a pair of spherical shaped hardened steel support wheels. Only one of the support assemblies includes a pair of guide rollers disposed perpendicular to its associated support wheels in order to maintain rolling movement of the storage system along a linear path. The support wheels of the other support assemblies are allowed to move independently from one another in order to prevent the scrubbing action of the supporting apparatus. The supporting assemblies also include a drive track and a sprocket disposed at one end of the storage unit with a drive mechanism. This feature helps to keep the floor area between the flat tracks uncluttered. The apparatus compensates for a significant degree of unlevelness and undulation of the flat tracks caused by an unlevel floor upon which the flat tracks are mounted.
