PILLAR FOR GRID-BASED STORAGE SYSTEM HAVING CONSTRAINING FEATURES

Abstract: a pillar for supporting a grid formed of a first set of a parallel rails extending in an x-direction and a second set of parallel rails extending in a y-direction. the pillar extending along an axis in a z-direction and including a constraining feature arranged to prevent a grapple from moving away from the axis in the x-direction and in the y-direction as the grapple is lowered in the z-direction to secure a container. a grid-based storage structure formed of pillars including the constraining feature can thus be assembled using less pillars than a storage structure formed of conventional pillars and, therefore, can also be constructed with significantly lower costs.
