PURPOSE:To arbitrarily change the position and the passage width of a working passage or a dispersion passage, by carrying out control so that a prescribed passage space is formed, according to the contents memorized by a memory means, after all the self traveling shelves return to a convergence state where the gap space between the contiguous shelves becomes small. CONSTITUTION:When a passage space formation instruction switch is once pushed, the corresponding self traveling type shelf travels, and when the passage space formation switch is pushed again, traveling stops. Further, when an emergency stop instruction switch is pushed, all the self traveling shelves in traveling stop emergently. At each upper end place between the contiguous shelves of the shiftable self traveling type shelves 1a, 1b, and 1c and between the first self traveling shelf 1a and a fixed shelf 2, the shelves are connected through a connecting body which is bendable in '<' shape on the plane view, and when the connected body extends to the full, the max. width dimension in the passage space between the contiguous self traveling type shelves (and the fixed shelf) is regulated.
