A load supporting member connects the lower ends of the suspension members and is positioned so that the center of gravity of the load carrying structure and of a load supported thereby lies in the vertical plane. A drip pan is mountable below the upper portions of the suspension members. Each carrier may include an idler trolley located intermediate the front and rear trolleys, connected to the front trolley by a tow bar, and provided with an actuating cam for operating a driving dog releasing lever on the front trolley of a following carrier for the accumulation of carriers on a portion of the conveyor having parallel tracks for the front and rear carrier trolleys.
