A carrying tower for a metallurgical vessel includes at least one carrying arm cantilevering from a non-rotatable carrying column and pivotable about the carrying column, which carrying arm carries at least one metallurgical vessel. A pivot bearing is provided between the carrying arm and the carrying column. In order to enable a simple check, maintenance and a quick removal of the pivot bearing with the carrying arm remaining on the carrying tower, a single pivot bearing accommodating axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments, with a lower-side shoulder of a first bearing race, rests on a supporting surface arranged on the upper end of the carrying column. The carrying arm is mounted so as to be suspended on a second bearing race of the pivot bearing.

A strand guide for an arcuate continuous casting plant has at least one arcuate, horizontally displaceable supporting and guiding structure. In order to be able to remove and install the supporting and guiding structure in a simple manner, on ensuring a good accessibility and not restricting the space on the casting platform, the supporting and guiding structure is mounted on at least one intermediate trestle. The intermediate trestle is adjustable in the arc plane and is supported on at least one supporting trestle which is adjustable transversely to the arc plane.

A supporting and guiding stand for continuous casting plants comprises roller ways supporting the stand on two opposite sides. One of the roller ways is arranged on a first supporting framework and the other roller way is arranged on a second supporting framework braceable relative to the first supporting framework by means of a number of drawing anchors and connectable to the same. Adjustment drives are provided for adjusting the second supporting framework relative to the first supporting framework. For easily separating the two supporting frameworks and for detaching the two supporting frameworks from each other merely by using the adjustment drives, the latter are connected with the second supporting framework on the one hand and with the drawing anchors on the other hand, in a manner that the drawing anchors are detachably fastened to the first supporting framework and, after release of the connection means, are removable by means of the adjustment drives from the first supporting framework out of a position connecting the supporting frameworks and are retractable into the second supporting framework in a retraction position.
