Appts. for transferring loads, esp. for food industry - has consecutive stretches of overhead runways defining transferring route for load suspended from them, and includes at least one shuttle

摘要

The apparatus for transferring loads (2) comprises consecutive stretches of overhead runways (4) together defining at least one transfer route for a load suspended from them. Each runway is defined by the substantially coplanar upper surfaces of a pair of longitudinal guiding elements maintained a fixed distance (Z) apart. There is at least one shuttle (1) joined with a rolling coupling to the overhead runway on which each load is supported. On each runway is singularly coupled, with rolling coupling, at least one pair of rolling elements rotatably supported by the shuttle (1).
