An endless conveyor comprises a plurality of individual wheeled carriers (12) which are supported directly on parallel main guide tracks (32, 34). In order to enable the carriers (12) to be selectively tilted from their normal horizontal attitudes to tip their loads at a chosen one of a plurality of discharge stations (162), there are provided at each discharge station a pair of auxiliary guide tracks (32a, 32b, 34a, 34b) branching from each main guide track, with one auxiliary guide path (32a or 34a) of each pair upwardly inclined towards its downstream end and the other auxiliary guide path (32b or 34b) of that pair downwardly inclined. A device (144) enables the carriers (12) to be selectively diverted in a lateral direction from the main guide tracks on to selected pairs of said auxiliary tracks whereby to tilt the selected carrier to one side of the main guide tracks or to the other side, as required. |
