Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for transferring unit loads ( 6 - 1, 6 - 2 ) to storage channels ( 15 ) for storage, the unit loads being conveyed to the storage channels by means of a unit load receiving device ( 7 ) which is movable along the storage channels in an x-direction and by means of a transport device ( 28 ) which can be extended into the storage channel in a z-direction. The transport device comprises outer transport elements ( 64, 65 ) in opposite end sections and optionally an inner transport element ( 66 ) in between. The unit load is moved from the unit load receiving device into the storage channel up to an intermediate position (Z P ) by means of one of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) by moving the transport device in a first direction of adjustment ( 68 ). The transport device is then moved back to a second direction of adjustment ( 69 ) such that the other of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) is positioned behind a side wall ( 70 ) of the unit load facing the unit load receiving device. The unit load is finally shifted in the storage channel from the intermediate position (Z P ) to the second depth position (Z n+1 ) by means of the other of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) by moving the transport device.

Claim (Index 9):
Storage system according to  claim 7 , wherein the storage system further comprises:\n a first storage rack ( 1 ) having storage channels ( 15 ) disposed adjacent to one another in rack levels (RE) lying one above the other, a second storage rack ( 1 ) having storage channels ( 15 ) disposed adjacent to one another in rack levels (RE) lying one above the other, a rack aisle ( 3 ) which extends in the x-direction between the first storage rack ( 1 ) and second storage rack ( 1 ), a plurality of unit load receiving devices ( 7 ), each unit load receiving device ( 7 ) having a transport device ( 28 ) which can be extended relative to this unit load receiving device ( 7 ) into the storage channel ( 15 ) in a second direction (z-direction), and the control unit ( 18 ) activates the unit load receiving devices ( 7 ) and transport devices ( 28 ) in order to transfer the unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) to depth positions (Z n  . . . Z n+2 ) lying one behind the other in the storage channels ( 15 ) with a mutual spacing, a unit load handling device ( 2 ;  39 ;  40 ) comprising at least one unit load lifting device ( 29 a ,  29 b ) having a transport device ( 32 a ,  32 b ) which can be raised and lowered for storing and/or retrieving unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) and a buffer device ( 30 a ,  30 b ) with waiting devices ( 35 ,  36 ) for temporarily buffering unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ), guide rails ( 12 ), which are disposed in at least some of the rack levels (RE) between the first storage rack ( 1 ) and second storage rack ( 1 ) in such a way that the unit load receiving devices ( 7 ) are able to move alongside the storage channels ( 15 ) and waiting devices ( 35 ,  36 ) in order to transport unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) between the storage channels ( 15 ) and waiting devices ( 35 ,  36 ), a conveyor system ( 4 ,  5 ) connected to the unit load lifting device ( 29 a ,  29 b ) for conveying unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) to and/or from the unit load-lifting device ( 29 a ,  29 b ).
