CONT

Rails de support posés au sommet des casiers: dans les installations de grande hauteur, on a avantage à utiliser cette disposition car le transtockeur suspendu est beaucoup plus stable. [...] (les transtockeurs suspendus pèsent moins que ceux qui roulent au sol).

OBS

Le transtockeur [...] se compose [...] d'un portique roulant suspendu à un ou deux rails supérieurs [...], d'un châssis vertical se déplaçant le long du portique, d'un système de fourches ou de tiroirs fixés sur le châssis et capables de se mouvoir horizontalement.
