    [1] [0001]levels of storage lines arranged in parallel and transport lines extending A multi-storey goods storage arrangement comprising a plurality of between opposing ends of said storage lines, wherein a transfer cart isoperable along each transport line.
    [2] [0002]a wide area of applications, such as conventional warehouses, storages and Multi-storey goods storage arrangements or pallet racks are used in stores. Goods, such as packages or cases, are normally arranged on palletsthat are transported in the multi-storey goods storage arrangement bydifferent kinds of carts, carriages, shuttles and conveyors. ln automatedmulti-storey goods storage arrangements the carriages, shuttles andconveyors are controlled by computer systems and pick up, transport, store and deliver goods without human influence.
    [3] [0003]from pallets on a picking line is used to combine different objects from ln some multi-storey goods storage arrangements manual picking different pallets into mixed pallets for delivery or packaging. Pallets withselected goods may be collected automatically from the multi-storey goodsstorage arrangement to a picking line. A mixed pallet is then manually puttogether and the collected pallets with remaining goods are again dispatchedautomatically in the multi-storey goods storage arrangement.
    [4] [0004]goods storage arrangements of putting together a mixed pallet of different lt would be desirable to improve the process in prior art multi-storeyitems or goods. The multi-storey goods storage arrangement comprises a plurality of levels of storage lines arranged in parallel and transport lines extending between opposing ends of said storage lines. ln accordance with AH P4502SE00 appliætion v1.d0C>< 2014-01-31 ver. 3 2 the invention suspended shuttles are used to pick up automatically itemsfrom selected pallets stored in said storage lines and to place automaticallythe items on a second pallet forming a mixed pallet. Conventional shuttlesare operated automatically to transport pallets between selected positions insaid storage lines and transfer carts operable along said transport lines.
    [5] [0005]storage arrangement while the each pallet from which items have been The mixed pallet then can be dispatched from the multi-storey goods picked up automatically are returned to the multi-storey goods storagearrangement. The mixed pallet can be supported on a transfer cart when it is put together or being supported at a selected position in a storing line.
    [6] [0006]transport goods in a vertical direction between different levels of storage ln various embodiments at least one goods elevator is arranged to lines. A transfer cart supporting at least one shuttle is operable along eachtransport line. Each shuttle is self-operated and arranged to run along rails inthe storage lines to move goods between the transfer cart and differentpositions in the storage lines.
    [7] [0007] ln order that the manner in which the above recited and otheradvantages and objects of the invention are obtained will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention briefly describedabove will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

    [10] [0010]arranged to transport goods in a vertical direction. lt should be noted that a At a storage line or at an extension of a storage line an elevator 26 is plurality of storage lines 12 are arranged at each level along said transportline 18, c.f. Fig. 2. Normally each pallet in storage lines 12 supports one typeof articles or goods. Goods normally are received to and delivered from themulti-storey goods storage arrangement via the elevator 26. Goods can betransported from the elevator to a storage line by a conveyor, such as aninput roller conveyor 27. The input roller conveyor 27 can be used also totransport pallets in the reverse direction to the elevator 26. A chain conveyor 29 can be arranged for transporting pallets along a specific storage line.
    [11] [0011]into said storage lines 12 carrying goods 16. The pallets 14 can be Each shuttle 22 is arranged to move away from the transfer cart 20 AH P4502SE00 appliætion v1.d0C>< 2014-01-31 ver. 3 4 transported along a storage line 12 to be placed at a selected position in thestorage line 12. The pallets 14 also can be picked up at a selected positionby the shuttle 22 and transported to the transfer cart 20 which then willtransport the picked up pallet along the transport line to a selected new storage line.
    [12] [0012]racking with a plurality of uprights 34 and horizontal load beams 36. The load The multi-storey goods storage arrangement basically is a pallet beams 36 can be designed as or include said rail system for supporting theshuttle 22. Conventional diagonal braces and horizontal braces can also be used.
    [13] [0013]goods storage arrangement in accordance with the invention of Fig. 2 shows The front view of one level of one embodiment of a multi-storey two levels of storage lines 12 in which a plurality of pallets14 with goods 16are stored. A transfer cart 20 shown on a lower level operates in a transportline 18 (into and out of the plane of paper shown in Fig. 2) and supports ashuttle 22. At least one transfer cart 20 operates along a transport line 18 at eachlevel
