Device for storing and providing objects having standardized dimensions

A method of loading, storing and unloading objects comprising:

• providing a device including:
• a storage unit including a carrier plate and four stackers each configured to store objects stacked perpendicular to the carrier plate, each of the stackers including a bottom surface disposed on top of the carrier plate, the stackers being disposed symmetrically centered around a rotation axis that is perpendicular to the carrier plate and offset with respect to each other by an angle of 90°,
• a substructure disposed underneath the carrier plate, and
• an unloading device configured to unload a selected object from a first of the stackers that is disposed in a transfer position, wherein the storage unit is rotatable around the rotation axis so as to rotate each of the stackers into the transfer position;
• and
• loading, storing and unloading the objects in the device in accordance with a “first in, first out” principle.

• and
• loading, storing and unloading the objects in the device in accordance with a “last in, first out” principle.
