The present invention provides a storage system comprising a storage grid structure and multiple container handling vehicles. The storage grid structure comprises vertical column profiles defining multiple storage columns and horizontal rails that the container handling vehicles move upon. The container handling vehicles are able to retrieve storage containers from, and store storage containers in, the storage columns, and transport the storage containers. The transfer section is arranged at a level below the rails and extends from an external side of the storage grid structure to a position below the at least one transfer column and comprises at least a section of the transfer floor. Each of the container transfer vehicles comprises a container carrier for carrying a storage container and a wheel arrangement for moving the container transfer vehicle in at least two perpendicular directions on the transfer floor.
