A device and a method for transferring piece goods between adjacent conveyor sections. A central pivot deflector between the conveyor sections and/or one or two outer pivot deflectors disposed on the outer sides of the conveyor sections can be pivoted about their pivot axes between first and second transfer positions and a passage position. In the transfer position, the pivoting deflector(s) block one of the conveyor sections obliquely from the outer side towards the center strip, so that an item of piece goods is transferred from one conveyor section to the other conveyor section. The pivoting deflectors are mounted substantially at the same level as the conveyor sections in both transfer positions. Thus piece goods can be transferred optionally from the first to the second conveyor section or vice versa at the same level. No item of piece goods is affected in the passage position.
