A conveyor system (10) comprises carriers (20) moving along a support track(16), the carriers (20) conveying loads to a desired destination. The carriers(20) are powered by a motor track (12) having a number of linear induction motors (14) mounted thereon. The motor track (12) has means to connect or couple the motors thereto, the coupling means arranged generally continuously along the motor track (12). With this arrangement, the motors can be placed along the motor track (12) in any desired fashion depending, particularly on the power requirements needed for that portion of track, e.g., more motors for uphill sections of track. Motors can also be easily removed and positioned at other track locations. A controller is provided which controls the motors and the overall conveying operation. As an alternative to linear induction motors, linear synchronous motors can be utilized to propel the carriers (20) along a conveyance path.
