The input shaft is arranged vertically in operation and supported by a bearing at a side of the input bevel gear facing away from the input interface. An output shaft includes an output bevel gear in direct meshing engagement with the input bevel gear, with the output shaft being overhung-mounted and having an output interface at one shaft end thereof which faces away from the output bevel gear. Both, the input shaft and the output shaft are mounted in a drive housing.
