A storage module configured to store inventory items, the storage module comprising: first and second module ends (12, 14) that are spaced from one another along a longitudinal direction; a plurality of conveyor segments (16, 18, 20, 22) that define a movement path that has a closed shape and a length along a longitudinal direction that is greater than a height of the movement path along a vertical direction; and a plurality of container carriers supported by the conveyor segments (16, 18, 20, 22), each container carrier comprising a container body, characterized in that the container body is: i) defining a plurality of openings that are offset from one another along a lateral direction, perpendicular to the vertical and longitudinal directions, each opening sized and configured to receive and support a storage container therein, which is configured to store at least one inventory item therein, wherein the plurality of openings are configured to support a row of inventory storage containers such that the inventory storage containers are offset from one another along the lateral direction, ii) including an upper end and a lower end spaced from one another along the vertical direction, the plurality of openings extending through respective upper and lower ends (26e, 26f), iii) including a pair of opposed carrier sides (26a, 26b) spaced opposite from one another along the lateral direction, iv) including a pair of opposed carrier ends (26c, 26d) spaced opposite from one another along the longitudinal direction, and v) comprising a plurality of dividers that separate adjacent ones of the openings, each of the plurality of dividers extending from one of the carrier ends (26c, 26d) to the other carrier end (26c, 26d) along the longitudinal direction, wherein the storage module is configured to convey the container carriers around the movement path until a desired one of the container carriers is presented at one of the first and second module ends (12, 14). first and second module ends (12, 14) that are spaced from one another along a longitudinal direction; a plurality of conveyor segments (16, 18, 20, 22) that define a movement path that has a closed shape and a length along a longitudinal direction that is greater than a height of the movement path along a vertical direction; and a plurality of container carriers supported by the conveyor segments (16, 18, 20, 22), each container carrier comprising a container body, characterized in that the container body is: i) defining a plurality of openings that are offset from one another along a lateral direction, perpendicular to the vertical and longitudinal directions, each opening sized and configured to receive and support a storage container therein, which is configured to store at least one inventory item therein, wherein the plurality of openings are configured to support a row of inventory storage containers such that the inventory storage containers are offset from one another along the lateral direction, ii) including an upper end and a lower end spaced from one another along the vertical direction, the plurality of openings extending through respective upper and lower ends (26e, 26f), iii) including a pair of opposed carrier sides (26a, 26b) spaced opposite from one another along the lateral direction, iv) including a pair of opposed carrier ends (26c, 26d) spaced opposite from one another along the longitudinal direction, and v) comprising a plurality of dividers that separate adjacent ones of the openings, each of the plurality of dividers extending from one of the carrier ends (26c, 26d) to the other carrier end (26c, 26d) along the longitudinal direction, i) defining a plurality of openings that are offset from one another along a lateral direction, perpendicular to the vertical and longitudinal directions, each opening sized and configured to receive and support a storage container therein, which is configured to store at least one inventory item therein, wherein the plurality of openings are configured to support a row of inventory storage containers such that the inventory storage containers are offset from one another along the lateral direction, ii) including an upper end and a lower end spaced from one another along the vertical direction, the plurality of openings extending through respective upper and lower ends (26e, 26f), iii) including a pair of opposed carrier sides (26a, 26b) spaced opposite from one another along the lateral direction, iv) including a pair of opposed carrier ends (26c, 26d) spaced opposite from one another along the longitudinal direction, and v) comprising a plurality of dividers that separate adjacent ones of the openings, each of the plurality of dividers extending from one of the carrier ends (26c, 26d) to the other carrier end (26c, 26d) along the longitudinal direction, wherein the storage module is configured to convey the container carriers around the movement path until a desired one of the container carriers is presented at one of the first and second module ends (12, 14).
