The shuttle (4) comprises drive means for moving the shuttle along a track (10), and connector devices having a first condition, in which the connector device can engage a trolley (6) to enable the shuttle (4) to move the trolley (6) along the track (10), and a second condition, in which the shuttle (4) can move along the track (10) without engaging the trolley (6). The shuttle (4) includes a position detector for detecting a position of the shuttle (4) relative to the track (6), and an object location sensing device for detecting a position of the shuttle (4) relative to at least one trolley (6).
