A container accessing station is disclosed for use in an automated storage and retrieval grid. The station includes an access opening to allow human or robotic access to the contents of a storage container, a base opening, and a lifting device. The lifting device is configured to retrieve the storage container from a first level below the base opening, lift it through the base opening, and position it at a second level for access via the access opening. The lifting device comprises a lifting frame for releasable connection to the storage container and a lift mechanism designed to move the lifting frame between the first and second levels.
