To temporarily receive goods so as to move a fork of a transfer device backward in transferring the goods from equipment to a carriage at a delivery port in an automated storage and retrieval system, facilitate the backward movement of the fork and lower the loading level of the carriage for more stability.
When segments A are transferred from equipment 14 to a shaft carriage 40 at a delivery port in a three-dimensional automated storage and retrieval system storing the segments A of lining materials set up in a shaft, the segments A delivered onto the shaft carriage 40 by using a flexible fork 22 of a transfer device 20 belonging to the equipment 14 are temporarily received at the upper part of the shaft carriage 40 by an up-and-down movable temporary supporting device 30. After the fork 22 of the transfer device 20 is moved backward, a temporary receiving portion (a temporary receiving rod 35) of the temporary supporting device 30 is moved down so that the temporarily received segments A can be mounted on the shaft carriage 40 to be delivered.
