In a high speed production line system, a conveyor is defined by groupings of transversely movable pallets 14, each grouping further including a central, transversely movable pusher 22 providing an abutment 24. When a pair of packs 16 of products 20 is delivered on to the pallets 14 in a group, the abutment 24 is adjacent one side of the packs 16 at the junction therebetween. As the packs 16 are moved along the conveying path, cam followers retain the pallets 14 in position and move the abutment 24 against the packs 16 to rotate the latter in opposite directions through 90 DEG . Turning can be effected over a distance of less than one meter travel, both positively and accurately at high speeds.
