Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a means to increase an equipment efficiency and a storage capacity in warehouse equipment having a moving passage of a transferring device between respective storage shelves by providing the storage shelves loaded with long size storage materials in the lengthwise direction on plural stages in plural rows. CONSTITUTION:Since only a single transferring device 10 can cover the whole storage shelves in a warehouse by providing a ceiling beam 4 which is arranged along a moving passage between the respective storage shelves and by which the transferring loading device 10 to travel on the moving passage of the transferring loading device 10 between the respective storage shelves can move across storage shelf rows arranged in plural rows, a truck 5 to travel along the ceiling beam 4, carriages 6 being hung before and after the truck 5 so as to be capable of ascending/descending freely and fork mechanisms arranged in the carriages so as to be housed freely, wastefulness of equipment in the transferring device can be eliminated. Since arrangement density of the whole storage shelves can be increased, a long size material storage capacity can be increased in a warehouse, and since an operational condition is simple, an effect such as operational control becomes possible, and can be obtained due to a simple control system.
