An apparatus for moving objects comprising a plurality of transport movers individually movable by means of magnetic conveying technology and/or linear motor technology for transporting the objects; a path system for the transport movers in which the transport movers are movable along at least one predefined path in a transport direction; and a control device for controlling the movements of the transport movers in the path system, wherein the path system has a guide for the transport movers which extends along the path, characterized in that at least one rolling element or sliding element is arranged at each transport mover; and in that the guide takes up at least substantially vertical forces via the rolling element or sliding element, with the guide having at least one running surface, which extends along the path, for the rolling element or sliding element.

Device, transport mover, and transport mover system

The invention relates to a device for moving objects, comprising a plurality of individually-movable conveyor movers () for conveying the objects, a track system () for said conveyor movers () in which the conveyor movers () can be moved along at least one predetermined track in a conveyor direction (T), and a control device for controlling the movements of said conveyor movers in the track system (), the conveyor movers () each comprising at least one runner () that interacts with said track system (), at least one carrier () for objects and, mounted on said runner (), at least one retainer () for the carrier (), said carrier () being adjustable relative to the runner () between a lower conveyor position and an upper functional position and thus being guided by the retainer ().
