A storage tower for storing storage containers , wherein the storage tower comprises: • a vertically extending supporting structure having a vertical axis ( A v ), and • m horizontally oriented container supports arranged along the vertical axis of the supporting structure and supported by container supporting frameworks , the container supports being distributed at vertical intervals ( ΔdV ) and m being a positive integer of 2 or more, to provide different levels where storage containers can be stored, wherein each container support is rotationally connected to the support structure and configured to support at least one storage container , wherein each level of the l container supports (402a-1) that are arranged above the remaining levels of m-l container supports each displays at least one opening having a size being at least a maximum horizontal cross section ( A f ) of the storage containers to be stored, l being a positive integer of 1 to m -1, and wherein the / container supports (402a-1) can be rotated about the vertical axis ( A v ) independently such that at least one opening of each level of the l container supports (402a-l) is vertically alignable with at least one opening of the other levels of the l container supports (402a-1) by individual rotation of the container supports (402a-l), characterized in that each container support comprises vertical guide plates arranged at least partly around the perimeter of each of the at least one opening , wherein the vertical guide plates are configured so that a storage container being lifted or lowered into the respective opening is aligned in the horizontal plane. • a vertically extending supporting structure having a vertical axis ( A v ), and • m horizontally oriented container supports arranged along the vertical axis of the supporting structure and supported by container supporting frameworks , the container supports being distributed at vertical intervals ( ΔdV ) and m being a positive integer of 2 or more, to provide different levels where storage containers can be stored, wherein each container support is rotationally connected to the support structure and configured to support at least one storage container , wherein each level of the l container supports (402a-1) that are arranged above the remaining levels of m-l container supports each displays at least one opening having a size being at least a maximum horizontal cross section ( A f ) of the storage containers to be stored, l being a positive integer of 1 to m -1, and wherein the / container supports (402a-1) can be rotated about the vertical axis ( A v ) independently such that at least one opening of each level of the l container supports (402a-l) is vertically alignable with at least one opening of the other levels of the l container supports (402a-1) by individual rotation of the container supports (402a-l), characterized in that each container support comprises vertical guide plates arranged at least partly around the perimeter of each of the at least one opening , wherein the vertical guide plates are configured so that a storage container being lifted or lowered into the respective opening is aligned in the horizontal plane. <EOS>
