Apparatus for transferring elongate units from a manufacturing place to a consumption place.

摘要

In the steel industry metal rods (18) are transported from a steel mill (1) to a consumer (7). During transport the rods (18) are subjected to rough treatment so that they are usually no longer straight upon arrival and must therefore be straightened. According to the invention the straightening step is eliminated by the rods (18) being placed in a magazine (3) which thus protects them during transport. <IMAGE>
