Grid framework structure

A grid framework structure configured to support one or more load handling devices thereupon, said grid framework structure comprising:

• i) a grid structure including a plurality of grid cells;
• and
• ii) a load bearing framework, wherein the grid structure is suspended from the load bearing framework by three or more tension elements connected to a respective number of suspension points on the grid structure, each of the three or more tension elements having a length configured to suspend the grid structure in a substantially horizontal plane,
• wherein the grid structure is configured to move relative to the load bearing framework, and
• wherein the load bearing framework comprises:
• means for damping movement of the grid structure relative to the load bearing framework,
• wherein the means for damping movement of the grid structure relative to the load bearing framework is disposed between the load bearing framework and the grid structure.
