Abstract

The invention relates to an automated storage system comprising at least two shelves having storage locations for storing load carriers comprising articles, wherein the load carriers are storable in a storage direction in the storage locations, and a shelve aisle formed by the two shelves, in which a load reception means comprising a transfer means is movable in a travel direction in order to store at least one load carrier transported with the load reception means from the load reception means in the storage location or to pick up at least one load carrier from the storage location onto the load reception means during a transfer procedure with the transfer means, and the transfer means comprises rotation means in order to rotate the load carrier during the transfer procedure between the travel direction on the load reception means and the storage direction in the storage location.
