The conveyor device (13) includes receiver means (21,22) arranges at both sides of the roller path (14) for conveying rods (4,12) between a handling device (6) of a stock of rods (4,12) and the roller path (14), each of the receiver means (21,22) comprising at least one receiver arm (25,28) which is independently movable substantially vertically. The crane system (51) includes a load crossbeam means (56) movable in the vertical direction for transporting a bar material (55), and load take-up means (57,58) provided on the load crossbeam means (56). The load crossbeam means (56) is subdivided into the subcrossbeam means (56a,56b) which are movable individually.
