A device for transporting objects, including a first conveyor element and a second conveyor element. The first conveyor element protrudes beyond the second conveyor element, a first conveying surface being formed by the first conveyor element, and a second conveying surface being formed by the second conveyor element. The first conveying element being movable in dependence on the weight of the object to be transported, so that a first object of a first weight is moved on the first conveying surface and a second object of a second weight is moved on the second conveying surface, the second weight being greater than the first weight.

Device for transporting objects

A conveyor system includes a conveyor device for transporting a piece goods item along a transport direction, and at least one guide member which has a base area and a first, planar lateral face, wherein the conveyor device has a conveyor surface for the piece goods item, and a lateral peripheral region which in the transport direction is disposed so as to be lateral to the conveyor surface, wherein the first lateral face conjointly with the base area configures an internal angle of intersection of less than 90 degrees, and wherein the guide member is disposed and/or designed in such a manner that at least part of the base area thereof is on the lateral peripheral region, and that a normal vector of the first lateral face, counter to the transport direction, points obliquely toward a center of the conveyor surface.

Conveyor system having a guide member, and use of a guide member

A method for unloading packages from a container, in particular a roller container. The method requires relatively little space, and the method involves a container guide and a conveyor belt, in which the containers are moved successively along a container path by the container guide. At least in some section or sections, the conveyor belt extends to the side of and at least substantially parallel to the container path. The containers are tipped sideways in the direction of the conveyor belt during the movement along the container guide and along the conveyor belt predetermined by the container path. The packages slide out of the tipped containers onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt conveys the packages that have slid out of the container onwards, and the emptied tipped containers are righted again during the movement along the container guide predetermined by the container path.
