Abstract
An automatic warehouse ( 1 ), comprising: a frame ( 2 ), defining a prismatic-shaped containment volume (V), with a vertical axis (X); an elevator ( 3 ), arranged inside the containment volume (V), comprising a flat bed ( 4 ), movable along a vertical direction; a locking device ( 101 ), interposed between the frame ( 2 ) and the elevator ( 3 ), which is operable between a locking configuration, in which the elevator ( 3 ) is constrained to the frame ( 2 ) with respect to the vertical movements and cannot move vertically, and a release configuration, in which the elevator ( 3 ) can move vertically. The locking device ( 101 ) can be activated on command from a predetermined zone of the frame ( 2 ), which can be positioned with great flexibility, based on any access needs.
