A service vehicle moves on a rail system including a first set of parallel rails arranged in a horizontal plane and extending in a first direction and a second set of parallel rails arranged in the horizontal plane and extending in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction. The first and second sets of rails form a grid pattern in the horizontal plane including a plurality of adjacent grid cells. The service vehicle includes a container handling vehicle part for storing a container handling vehicle operating on the rail system, and wheels for allowing movement of the service vehicle along the rail system during operation. The service vehicle further includes a displacement mechanism, and a hoist arrangement connected to the displacement mechanism. The displacement mechanism and the hoist arrangement are configured for moving the container handling vehicle between an operational position on the rail system and a loaded position within the container handling vehicle part.
