The invention discloses a method for displacing a group of articles or layer (10) of articles horizontally, the positions of a plurality of articles (16) forming the group of articles or layer (10) of articles relative to one another being largely maintained in the process. The displacement takes place by means of at least one pushing and/or conveying device (18, 20, 50), wherein an associated pressure-exerting device (30, 32, 52) positions itself, at least temporarily and just before, or at, the termination of a horizontal displacing operation, on an upper side of the articles (16) of the group of articles or layer (10) of articles or follows the same at a small vertical distance in the conveying or advancement direction (38, 42). The invention also discloses an apparatus for displacing a group of articles or layer (10) of articles horizontally on a module, or between at least two adjacent modules (12, 14, 38, 40, 44), on a transporting route and/or a palletizing apparatus. |
