A roll shuttle for transporting rolls in a shelf system, comprising:
- a chassis, having wheels mounted thereon, in order to move the roll shuttle along travel rails which are laid in a storage plane of the shelf system;
- a running slide, which is mounted on the chassis so as to be movable relative to the direction of travel of the roll shuttle, in a direction which deviates from the direction of travel of the roll shuttle by a predetermined angle greater than zero;
- and
- a load mandrel for transporting at least one roll to be stored, which mandrel is pivotably fastened to the running slide in a plane substantially in parallel with the storage plane of a shelf system,
- wherein the load mandrel is equipped with a chain conveyor in order to position rolls to be stored along the load mandrel.
