2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an equipment for storing heavy objects, there has been provided an equipment for storing heavy objects as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-38162. In this conventional configuration, a drawer that can be pulled out and pushed into a rack is provided to form a plurality of storage sections in the vertical and horizontal directions. Then, with the front half of the drawer pulled out, a heavy object is delivered to the drawer by a hoist.

However, according to this conventional type, it is not easy for a worker to pull out and push in a heavy object (drawer). In addition, the heavy object (drawer) cannot be completely pulled out of the rack, so that the hoist is required to work from diagonally above and requires manual operation by an operator, and the manual operation is dangerous.

In order to solve this problem, a configuration has been considered in which an elevating body is provided on the front side of the rack, and a fork body which is capable of moving back and forth with respect to the storage portion is provided on the elevating body. according to this,
By the combined operation of the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting and lowering body and the movement of the fork, the stored object can be completely pulled out of the rack and the hoist can be acted from directly above. However, since the loading / unloading device such as a lifting / lowering body acts on the vertical rows, the loading / unloading devices must be provided for the horizontal rows, respectively, and the whole becomes expensive.

Therefore, as shown in, for example, JP-A-58-42505, a shelf having a plurality of partitioned storage spaces in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a traveling device movable along the shelf in front of the shelf. It is conceivable that heavy goods are stored by an automatic warehouse facility composed of the following. In this case, the traveling device has a pair of front and rear posts, and a lifting / lowering table that can be moved up and down by being guided by these posts is provided with a loading / unloading device that can move back and forth in the horizontal direction. The traveling device is supported and guided by the floor rail, and the upper frame provided between the upper ends of both posts is guided by the ceiling rail.

When such a conventional automatic warehouse type is adopted for storing long objects, a common delivery device can be used for the left and right rows of the compartment storage space by traveling of the traveling device, and the entirety can be used. Since the traveling device is guided by the floor rail and the ceiling rail, it is possible to safely carry out and put in and out the vehicle without rolling.

[0007]

However, according to the above-mentioned automatic warehouse type, the delivery of the cargo which has retreated into the elevating platform is hindered by the ceiling rail or the upper frame located directly above the traveling device. Ceiling crane cannot be acted upon from above. To deal with this, it is sufficient to use a cargo handling area that is provided outside the end of the shelf and that is open at the top. Can not do.

[0008] Further, by removing one of the shelves arranged side by side and projecting the loading / unloading tool toward the removed side, the overhead crane can be operated from directly above the ceiling rail and the upper frame, but the deleted side can be operated. Must secure a working space (dead space) over the entire length of the shelf, and the entire system cannot be installed economically. Furthermore, wire hanging of the overhead crane on a long object cannot be performed easily and easily because the delivery device is in the way.

It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to safely carry out and put in and out the vehicle without rolling, etc., and to easily and easily operate the overhead crane from directly above without securing a dead space. Another object of the present invention is to provide a facility for storing long objects.
