An apparatus for transporting and rotating an article (G) has means for bearing the article (G) which are arranged in a bearing plane, and these means contain longitudinal and rotary conveyors (2, 2'). The conveyors (2, 2') extend in the transporting direction (T) and are spaced apart at least more or less parallel to one another. They convey the article at different transporting speeds. The means (24, 25) have direction-dependent coefficients of friction in respect of the bearing plane, these coefficients of friction being greater, in particular, in the transporting direction (T) than those in a direction (S) which is perpendicular thereto, and runs in the bearing plane. The apparatus according to the invention thus allows straightforward rotation and transportation of articles, there being barely any need for the apparatus to be adapted to the shape and size of the articles.
