An automated storage system including a shuttle and a rack having several rack supports, the shuttle operable to vertically ascend the rack on two adjacent rack supports by a frictional connection, the shuttle including: ground contact wheels; a load handling device; two motor-driven friction wheels arranged in a friction wheel gauge for vertical friction wheel climbing; and a first pair of counterpressure wheels, and the counterpressure wheels are displaceable by a shuttle control between a docking position and a climbing position, and the shuttle is coupled to the two adjacent rack supports in the climbing position and the shuttle is detached from the two adjacent rack supports in the docking position and, in the climbing position, the counterpressure wheel gauge corresponds to the friction wheel gauge, and one rack support each is arranged at least in sections between one of the friction wheels and one of the counterpressure wheels.
