The invention relates to a transport device () and a method for distributing a plurality of similarly shaped and dimensioned articles (). The transport device () comprises an infeed () for conveying articles () in a mass flow, and a distribution section () downstream of the infeed (), where the distribution section () leads into a row transport (), where the articles () are conveyed in at least two separate parallel rows (). The transport device () also comprises at least one sensor device () signal-coupled to a motor-driven actuator () assigned to the distribution section () In the event of detected gaps, interruptions, or in the event of a detected termination of the mass flow within the infeed () or within the distribution section () or within the rows (), the actuator () moves a movable steering device () adjoining the mass flow.
