ABSTRACT

An apparatus for moving transport containers ( 1 ) between a container stack (
4 ) and a container rack ( 22 ) comprises a lifting device ( 2 ) that can be
adjusted to a transport container ( 1 ) transversely to a lifting direction
(H). For the apparatus to have a compact structure and reliably moves
transport containers between a container stack and a container rack,
irrespective of the fill level of said rack, and to be preferably suitable for
manipulators of industrial robots, the lifting device ( 2 ) comprises a guide
for moving the transport container ( 1 ) transversely to the lifting direction
(H), and a sliding device ( 3 ), which is detachably translationally rigidly
connectable to the transport container ( 1 ), is provided for moving the
transport container ( 1 ) in the guide ( 19 ) between a lifting position and a
position for being introduced into the rack.
