A transport system for transporting laps wound on tubes in spinning preparation. The laps are transported above head height by carriers or supports movable along transport rails and are raised and lowered by means of carrier rails. The transport rails and the carrier rails are components or parts of a closed, endless circulation path or track. Each carrier has a holder for the lap and a holder for the empty tube. The invention provides the advantages that no special transport system is required for return of the tubes. Moreover, transport of individual laps or of a group of such laps is possible and an ordered and simple circulation path is provided during transport of these elements or parts. Furthermore, the system can readily be automated.
