ABSTRACT

An earthquake restraint grid framework structure includes a grid framework
structure for supporting a load handling device operative to move one or more
containers in a stack. The grid framework structure includes intersecting grid
members arranged to form a grid having plural f substantially rectangular
frames in a horizontal plane, each of the substantially rectangular frames
constituting a grid cell. The grid is supported by plural upright columns at
each of the intersections of grid members to form a plurality of vertical
storage locations for containers to be stacked between the upright columns and
be guided in a vertical direction through the substantially rectangular
frames. An exoskeleton includes plural vertical frame columns braced by at
least one bracing member, the grid being further supported by the exoskeleton
to form a seismic restraint system (SFRS).
