STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL MACHINE FOR TOTE PANS ABSTRACT A machine (10) for transporting tote pans (24) to and from storage compartments (18) arranged longitudinally in vertical rows along an aisle includes a vertically mov- able carriage (22) provided with a pair of longitudinally spaced, transversely extending tote pan supporting guides (50) which are transversely shiftable between centered and tote pan transfer positions. Associated with the guides is a pair of endless chains (54, 55), each arranged in a hori- zontal orbit extending below one of the guides around the sides and ends thereof and carrying a pair of equidistantly spaced pins (66, 67) projecting above the support level of the guide, the pins on one chain being aligned longitudinal- ly with the pins on the other chain. The chains are driven simultaneously in opposite directions on a storage or retrieval cycle synchronously with a cam (76) which shifts the support assembly transversely. A tote pan (24) having a handle slot (31) at each of its ends (27, 28) is pushed into or pulled from a storage compartment by a set of longitudinally aligned pins engaging one of the handle slots.
