ABSTRACT:
A robotic shelf handling apparatus usable with a power lifting device such as a swingreach or forklift which can be used to remove and replace large capacity conventional storage shelves. The shelf handling apparatus defines or pockets or slots for receiving a power lifting device fixedly secured thereinto and is positioned between vertically extending corner stanchions of shelving immediately below its shelf to be removed. The apparatus includes a frame with a shelf deck positioning device vertically movable upwardly therefrom to remove a shelf deck. Further the design includes a lateral stabilization means including a plurality of wheels and guide rollers adapted to engage the vertically extending stanchions of the shelving for maintaining lateral stability of the handling apparatus. Also a support bar positioning device is included which is adapted to hold the support bars used for supporting of the deck plates and removing them from engagement with the vertical stanchions as desired. The deck lifting platform of the shelf deck positioning device is interconnected to the main stabilizing wheels for urging them into abutment with the vertically extending stanchions responsive to movement of the deck lifting platform upwardly from the frame.
