ABSTRACT

A storage facility includes a storage space enclosing a storage and retrieval
system, a transit space, and a first separation wall. The storage and
retrieval system includes a storage grid configured to store a plurality of
storage containers in vertical stacks, a first upper vehicle support extending
in an upper horizontal plane above the storage grid, and a container handling
vehicle configured to transport at least one of the plurality of storage
containers on a wheel arrangement between at least two locations on the first
upper vehicle support. The transit space includes a second upper vehicle
support extending in the upper horizontal plane and arranged relative to the
first upper vehicle support such that the container handling vehicle may move
between the storage space and the transit space. The first separation wall
separates the storage space and transit space. The first separation wall
includes a first upper opening having a minimum size and vertical position
allowing the container handling vehicle to pass through, and a first upper
closable gate configured to open and close the first opening.
