Cells (104) are arranged in a rectangular prismatic array comprising a plurality of arrays (A1, A2 . . . A16). Each array comprises columns (C1, C2 . . . C15) and rows (R1, R2 . . . R18). Arrays (A1, A2 . . . A16) are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of void areas (V1, V2 . . . V8), each of which extends vertically and horizontally through the structure (102). Each cell has a container access opening (106) communicating with its associated void area (V1, V2 . . . V8). Container cranes (108) are provided for each void area (V1, V2 . . . V8). Container engagement assemblies (108c) are releasably engaged with respective opposite longitudinal ends of carrier (108a) of cranes (108).
