ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a conveyor comprising a frame and drivable transport means, provided with carriers extending transversely to the direction of movement of the transport means, parallel to each other. The carriers are pivotally coupled to at least one flexible coupling means, whilst at least some of said carriers support pusher shoes. A pusher shoe is connected to a group of three guide wheels positioned at the side of a respective carrier remote from the pusher shoe, which guide wheels are capable of cooperating with a guide rail extending at an angle to the intended direction of movement of the carriers. At least one of the guide wheels of a group of guide wheels is capable of cooperating with a guide rail at a lower level than another guide wheel, whereby at least part of a guide rail is designed to have a height such that at least one of the guide wheels of a group is positioned higher than the upper end of the part in question of the guide rail.
