The invention relates to an overhead conveyor with transport pouches for conveyed goods, wherein the transport pouches are rotatable relative to the carrier, wherein the overhead conveyor furthermore has a loading station with a guide rail arranged below the running profile. The transport pouches, before reaching the guide rail, assume a second orientation rotated with respect to the first orientation. The guide rail has a guide edge which, when the transport pouch reaches the guide rail, is brought into contact with the region of the holding bracket located between the bag and a carrying hook. The guide edge has a first section which crosses the conveying plane, so that the transport pouch, when passing the first section, is moved away from the conveying plane relative to the carrier, wherein the guide edge serves as a support via which the loading opening, when passing the first section, is levered open such that the bag is clamped and the transport pouch can be loaded. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method.
