ABSTRACT:
A walking beam conveying apparatus for handling elongated cylindrical articles and a handling method particularly applicable to a reheating furnace for pipes. Articles, such as pipes, are advanced in steps along the conveyor simply by raising and lowering movable beams without moving the beams axially as long as the articles are straight and can roll. The movable beams can move axially to advance bent articles incapable of rolling. The beams can be raised at one end only to introduce articles to the conveyor for storage without advancing articles already carried on the beams.
