Abstract:
A container handling vehicle for picking up storage containers from a three-dimensional grid of an underlying storage system includes a first set of wheels arranged at opposite portions of a vehicle body, for moving the vehicle along a first direction on a rail system in the grid; a second set of wheels arranged at opposite portions of the vehicle body, for moving the vehicle along a second direction on the rail system in the grid. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The vehicle body includes walls on all sides and forms a quadrilateral footprint. A first section and a second section arranged side-by-side such that a centre point of the first section is arranged off centre relative a centre point of the footprint formed by the vehicle body. A size ratio of a footprint of the first section relative a footprint of the second section is at least 2:1. The first section is configured to accommodate a storage container, and the second section includes at least a first battery.
