Abstract (en)
Typically, a rail-mounted gantry, spanning a storage area with associated access lane, carries a traversing hoist which transfers containers between transporting vehicles and storage. Container base corner blocks accept rotary latching pins on vehicle platforms. All drive motors are controlled from a cabin on one gantry side. A telemetric laser (15) on the gantry side of hoisting head covers the container/vehicle contact zone. Sweeping horizontally, it scans the vehicle platform (17), with the latching pins (18), using e.g. a rotating mirror or prism. Additionally, the beam swings vertically, the laser being mounted on a horizontal axis (16). A second laser, mounted over the access lane, establishes the vehicle position, and measures the container height.
