A carrying device for receiving goods, which comprises a carrying wall, having a front wall and a rear wall, and a closing device, having at least one closing structure for releasably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in a closed state. The carrying wall is here arrangeable between the closed state and an open state, wherein in the closed state, it delimits a carrying volume for receiving the goods at least partially to the front, bottom and rear, and wherein in the open state, it opens up the carrying volume in the downward direction. The at least one closing structure is arrangeable, in the open state, at a spacing from the carrying wall.

A shelf warehouse comprises a loading/unloading station, at least one shelf and a shelf storage and retrieval system that can be moved between the loading/unloading station and the shelf. The shelf storage and retrieval system has a load receiving device with a transfer device that can be moved along a transfer direction to transfer clothes rails and with a plurality of vertically movable lifting mechanisms arranged on the transfer device for lifting a respective clothes rail from below.

A transport bag is used for transporting goods, in other words products, in a hanging manner. The transport bag has a rigid carrying wall which, when in the transport position, has an upper portion that is connected to a carrying element for carrying the transport bag in a hanging manner. A flexible product retaining wall forms, together with the carrying wall, a carrying bag which is closed downwards and towards two opposite sides at least in the transport position of the transport bag. The carrying wall is connected to the retaining wall between a wall connecting portion which faces upwards in the transport position and a wall connecting portion which faces downwards in the transport position in such a way that a length of the web-shaped retaining wall is variably adjustable to the transport of different products, wherein the length of the web-shaped retaining wall is removable from a retaining wall reservoir and a non-required portion of the retaining wall remains in the retaining wall reservoir. The transport bag is provided such that this length adjustment of the retaining wall is performed by a relative displacement relative to the carrying wall at least in the region of one of the two connecting portions. As a result, a transport bag is obtained which prevents the goods from being damaged during transport.

Conveyor installation with carrying bags for products to be conveyed

A conveyor installation comprises carrier bags for material to be transported, wherein the carrier bags are suspended from carrier dogs which are moved in a transport rail in a transport direction. At a loading and unloading station, the carrier bags are rotatable from their transport position, which is transverse to the transport direction, into a position which points in the transport direction, wherein an upper loading opening is opened at the same time. Backwards rotation of the carrier bags is caused by the force of gravity.
