Conveyor for transporting load carriers

摘要

A conveyor for transporting load carriers, having load-bearing members which are spaced apart parallel to one another on frame parts and are intended for accommodating drivable load-bearing elements which form longitudinally running load-bearing tracks for the load carriers resting on the load-bearing elements. The conveyor may include modular-construction conveying units, and each load-bearing element of at least two laterally spaced-apart load-bearing members of each conveyor unit may comprise an endlessly circulating load-bearing belt, which bears the load carriers and which is supported on load-bearing rollers mounted on the load-bearing members. The conveyor may be provided for transporting load carriers and may be suitable for conveying the load carriers both longitudinally and transversely. The conveyor may transport the load carriers with a lower level of noise, and may allow a high throughput even of large loads. The conveyor may be used cost-effectively both for production and for installation on site.
