2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventional pallet parking system. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the storage shelves of the vehicle and the operation states of the bogie and the lift on one floor with time. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 10 denotes a traveling path of a trolley for carrying a pallet, and the trolley 12 travels left and right on rails (not shown) laid on both sides along the traveling path 10.

[0003] On both sides (upper and lower sides in the figure) of the traveling path 10, one row of storage shelves a and b is provided, respectively, and in the figure, reference numerals 1 to 5 indicate that five cars are stored in each row. The five storage shelves marked with are arranged in a row. At the position of the second storage shelf on the traveling path 10, there is a lift zone 16 in which a lift that goes up and down through each floor is installed. Vehicles stored in the storage shelves and vehicles unloaded from the storage shelves are moved by the trolley 12 and the lift while being placed on the pallets 14.

[0004] The parking operation in the parking facility of FIG. 4 having the above configuration will be described from top to bottom in the order of (A) to (G). First, in FIG. 4A, the trolley 12 is located in the lift zone 16, and the empty pallet after leaving the warehouse is returned on the trolley 12, and the vehicle in the storage shelf a-4 is next. Let's consider the case of leaving a warehouse.

[0005] In the lift zone 16, the trolley 12 receiving the empty pallet from the lift is replaced with an empty storage shelf b-5.
The empty pallet is transported to the side of FIG. At this position, the empty pallet on the trolley 12 is stored in the storage shelf b-5 by a known appropriate transfer means (FIG. (C)).

[0006] The cart 12 with the empty pallet unloaded is then moved to the side of the storage shelf a-4 (Fig. (D)), and the pallet 14 in the storage shelf a-4 is mounted on the vehicle by an appropriate known transport means.
