The invention concerns an automated storage and retrieval system, a storage facility and a method for operating such a system. The system comprises a first track system and a second track system, wherein a first horizontal plane P1 of the first track system and a second horizontal plane P2 of the second track system are arranged vertically displaced relative each other. The system comprises a vehicle lift device for transfer of at least one of the vehicles between the first track system and the second track system. The vehicle lift device comprises a support and transport platform arranged to carry the vehicle and a lift mechanism arranged to move the support and transport platform between:a first lift stop position LS1 establishing access between the support and transport platform and the first track system for enabling relocation of the vehicle between a support position on the support and transport platform and an operative position on the first track system,a second lift stop position LS2 establishing access between the support and transport platform and the second track system for enabling relocation of the vehicle between a support position on the support and transport platform and an operative position on the second track system.
