A rail-type floor conveyor system includes at least two rail pairs of different running directions, at least four rotatably mounted support plates on bearings, located in the intersection region of the rail pairs and on which wheels of a floor conveyor are rotated from a first into a second running direction, at least one floor conveyor having at least four wheel cassettes, rotated about a vertical axis and each have at least one wheel in contact with the rails, and wherein each wheel has a peripheral contour complementary to at least one profile of a rail so that transverse forces on the floor conveyor are absorbed by the rail pair, and a wheel-cassette rotary drive assembly connected to the floor conveyor and able to rotate the wheel cassettes about their vertical axis on the support plates, wherein no profiling for guiding the wheels is on the support plates.
