ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a shelf operating device comprising at least one continuous drive element (13) which is guided about two wheels (12, 13) which are arranged at a distance from each other, also comprising an upper strand and a lower strand. At least one gripping means (40, 41) is provided in order to grip a container (2) or a pallet. The gripping means (40, 41) describes a path which extends on deflection areas of the above-mentioned (11, 12) above the path of the drive element (13). The engaging means (40, 41) is embodied in a manner similar to that of forceps and guided such that it executes a lateral movement in order to grip the container (2) or the pallet. Preferably, the gripping means (40, 41) comprises two engaging arms (18, 24; 18′, 24′) which are pivotably mounted and which can be pivoted towards each other in order to grip in a manner similar to that of forceps. Most commercially available containers (2) and pallet can be stored and removed from storage by using said shelf operating device.
