摘要

The conveyor has transport goods carriers (14) arranged along a transportation path, where the carriers are horizontally positioned in an xz-level. The carriers are driven along a closed railway line (20) by a drive device (18), where the drive device comprises endless drive units (22, 24). The endless drive units are respectively designed as a pulling unit (28) and a support unit (30) for the carriers. The endless drive units are synchronously driven.
