ABSTRACT:
A splice arrangement for rail sections in a rail-mounted mobile system, such as a mobile storage system. The rail arrangement includes first and second rail sections, each of which has a base member and a support member defining a support surface for supporting the movable member of the mobile storage system. The base members of the adjacent rail sections are adapted for placement adjacent each other to form a joint therebetween. The support members of the adjacent rail sections are also adapted for placement adjacent each other to define a joint therebetween. The support member joint is offset from the base member joint, such that the support member joint overlies a lower wall defined by one of the base members. The ends of the support members further include a tongue and groove arrangement for maintaining the support members in horizontal alignment with each other. Grout is typically applied between the base members and a support surface such as a floor, and the offset relationship between the support member joint and the base member joint functions to isolate the grout from vertical forces resulting from movement of the movable member from one rail section to the other.
