In the field of materials handling, there is a need for a versatile shelving/storage apparatus which also serves as a transport mechanism. The disclosure relates to a movable, storage apparatus which includes a frame (11), a plurality of load trays (14) suspended from transverse rods (19) which interconnect pairs of movable members in the form of e.g. discs (18) or oval belts (28). The discs (18) or belts (28) are supported in the frame (11) for selective movement. The trays (14) are self-levelling under gravity, in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The apparatus includes a drive means (24) and a brake (26) whereby movement of the trays can be controlled. The advantage of the apparatus is that trays may readily be moved within the apparatus to a convenient position for loading, and subsequently moved to a remote portion of the apparatus during storage and/or transportation. The disclosure also relates to an apparatus (110) for moveably supporting e.g. a plurality of chemical drums such as 60 litre drums (137).
