The number of boxes  in the cassettes depends on overall box size and capacity of the cassettes. Loading boxes into the pallets and takeout  them out are carried out by special mechanism for moving boxes. Portal frames (6,7) located at two different sides  of racking system ensure horizontal and vertical movement of pallets in the racking system.
