A load bar assembly is connected for movement with a continuous conveyor system having a path of travel that includes 90 degree turns for transporting goods in an industrial facility to various locations along the path of travel of the conveyor system. The load bar assembly includes an elongate load bar from which the goods are suspended, and the overall bar is significantly longer than the radius of curvature of the smallest 90 degree turn of the conveyor system. To prevent binding of the load bar as it travels along the curved portions of the continuous conveyor system, connection of the load bar to the conveyor system includes two spaced apart attachment points, at least one of which is movable toward and away from the other. The distance between the two points of attachment is shortened as the load bar travels along the curved conveyor portions, and this arrangement prevents binding of load bar which would otherwise occur with a relatively long load having both points of attachment fixed relative to one another.
