ABSTRACT:
A storage assembly in which a row of storage units, such as racks, are movable between fixed limits along the length of the row in either of two opposite directions so that a gangway can be provided between the sides of any two adjacent units, and in which each storage unit is provided with a set of reversible electric motors adapted to drive individual independently rotatable drive wheels to move that storage unit, and a set of switches is provided along each side of each storage unit so as to be operated by means at the side of an adjacent storage unit, each switch in each set being associated with a respective reversible motor in the vicinity of the switch so as to control operation of that motor independently of the others and to cut-off the supply of electricity to the motor when it is operated. Thus each motor will continue to operate to move the part of the unit by which it is carried until that part reaches a datum position defined by the side of an adjacent storage unit. Adjacent storage units will therefore be maintained in constant relative positions and a gangway of constant width throughout its length will be provided. Provided the fixed limits at opposite ends of the row are parallel, the gangway will be parallel sided.
