ABSTRACT:
In order to carry boards or plates between two locations, a rack spanning these locations supports a pair of independently elevatable track structures each comprising a group of parallel rails interleaved with those of the other track structure. The rails of each group are engaged by respective carriages together forming a transport unit, each carriage being provided with several depending suction cups for picking up a workpiece. A transport unit carrying a workpiece moves on a lower level in one direction whereas an idle transport unit returns in the opposite direction on a higher level, thereby avoiding interference of the returning unit with the working unit and its load.
