A conveyor for conveying piece goods and the like through a helical path in upright direction, comprises a frame, an endless conveyor belt (8) supported by the frame (1) and driven by driving means and having a conveying part guided in the helical path and a return path. Said conveyor belt (8) includes substantially rigid slats (9) movably coupled near their axis and having an upper transport face. Said slats (9) are relatively pivotable both around two axes. The frame comprises a helical support face (11) for slidably supporting the slats in the conveying part, whereas the frame further comprises a radially directed guide face (20) for guiding these slats substantially radially in the conveying part. At least a number of slats is provided with at least a guide roller (17) rotatable about a substantially vertical axis of rotation and adapted to roll along the radially directed guide face.
