A rolling conveyor has a plurality of feed rollers that define a conveyor surface, in which the feed rollers are joined on their end regions rotatably to a first and a second bearing assembly, at least some of the feed rollers on the second bearing assembly each have a first drive wheel, which is in rotary drive communication each with one second drive wheel, the second drive wheels are located on a rotatable drive shaft, with which they are in rotary drive communication, wherein the drive shaft is joined rotatably to a third bearing assembly, which is embodied separately from the first and second bearing assemblies, so that a drive shaft assembly comprising the drive shaft and the associated third bearing assemblies is joined as a unit detachably to the rolling conveyor.

A conveyor system () includes a conveyor course (), which has a curved portion and two tracks () located one above the other, and a conveyor carriage (); each of the tracks () is assigned at least one horizontal track roller () of the conveyor carriage (), and at least one of the tracks () is assigned a further horizontal track roller (), which is spaced apart in the conveying direction (L) from the one track roller () associated with the same track (). The axes of rotation (A, B) of the two track rollers () are located in alignment with one another; and, whenever both tracks () are each assigned a further track roller (), the axes of rotation (A, B) of these further track rollers () are likewise in alignment with one another.
