configured to move along the second horizontal direction of the storage rack
essentially perpendicular against the first horizontal direction, wherein the
self-propelled satellite vehicle is configured to carry storage bin between
the self-propelled shuttle vehicle and the storage position; wherein the
self-propelled satellite vehicle comprises at least one groove on the top
surface of the self-propelled satellite vehicle, a pair of mutually facing
guides along the second horizontal direction wherein the self-propelled
satellite vehicle is configured to move on top of the pair of mutually facing
guides, a pair of mutually facing bars along the second horizontal direction
