Abstract

An inclined conveyor section includes transport rollers aligned obliquely on the conveyor section defining a preferred transport direction. The conveyor section is configured to receive parcel or piece goods upstream at a first position on a first side, transport them along the preferred transport direction and discharge them from a second side opposite the first side, downstream at a second position downstream of the first position. The transport rollers are one behind the other and rotatable. Drive rollers are controllable, drivable and disposed below the transport rollers for driving the transport rollers by frictional. A high degree of flexibility in the configuration of the transport rollers and independence of length, width and inclination angle defined by the preferred transport direction are provided in contrast to most existing inclined conveyors with transport rollers having only slight flexibility and/or complicated drives. A method for transporting parcel goods is also provided.
