An apparatus includes vertically spaced holding shelves, each including first and second shelf portions separated by an open area. A carrier configured to hold consumables is longer than the open area so that ends of the carrier can be supported on the first and second shelf portions. A transporter includes a support chassis laterally spaced from the holding shelves, a lift platform for carrying the carrier and having a length that is less than the length of the open area, a scissors actuator connecting the lift platform to the support chassis and configured to translate the lift platform laterally between a first position aligned with the support chassis and a second position laterally displaced from the support chassis and aligned with the open area of one of the holding shelves, and a transport elevator coupled to the support chassis for moving the support chassis in a vertical direction between the plurality of holding shelves.
