ABSTRACT:
A load carrier is designed for use with a work piece conveying apparatus, the work piece conveying apparatus including a conveyor chain for conveying a plurality of load carriers via transfer of friction forces onto the load carriers and a guiding rail for guiding and supporting the conveyor chain and the load carriers, the conveyer chain running in a recessed track of the guiding rail and the guiding rail having a supporting surface laterally extending on both sides of the recessed track. The load carrier comprises support rollers designed and arranged for rolling on the supporting surface on both sides of the recessed track of the guiding rail; and a front guiding foot and a rear guiding foot designed and arranged for engaging into the recessed track of the guiding rail, at least one of said guiding feet not contacting the conveyor chain such that said load carrier can be tilted between a first position in which only said at least one guiding foot not contacts the conveyor chain and in which the other of said guiding feet contacts the conveyor chain, and a second position in which none of said guiding feet contacts the conveyor chain.
