The invention relates to a remotely operated vehicle (50) for handling a goods holder (106) on a two-dimensional rail system (108) of an automated storage and retrieval system (1). The vehicle (50) comprises a first wheel mount (12) which is vertically displaceable relative to a frame (14) of the vehicle body, the first wheel mount (12) carrying a first pair (61) of coplanar wheels of said first set of wheels (6), and a second wheel mount (13) which is vertically displaceable relative to the frame (14) of the vehicle body, the second wheel mount (13) carrying a second pair (62) of coplanar wheels of said first set of wheels (6), the second wheel mount (13) being arranged parallel to and on an opposite side of said cavity (22) to said first wheel mount (12). A mechanism (15) for vertically displacing the first wheel mount (12) relative to the frame (14) of the vehicle body (10) is movable between a first position and a second position such that the movement of the mechanism (15) from the first to the second position results in the first wheel mount (12) being displaced vertically relative to the frame (14) of the vehicle body. A coupling assembly (19) couples the first (12) and the second (13) wheel mounts so that vertical movement of the first wheel mount (12) is transferred to the second wheel mount (13). The invention further relates to an automated storage and retrieval system (1) comprising said remotely operated vehicle (50) and a method of operating said remotely operated vehicle (50).
