Abstract
Metal slabs are cooled on a bed across which they are conveyed in a stepwise manner. The slabs are received on a number of first beams which move along a closed path having components in both a vertical and a horizontal direction. For part of the movement path of the first beams, the slabs are supported on second beams. The beams are themselves supported from below by pressure medium cylinders and have shoulders for supporting the slabs on edge. The stroke of the cylinders, producing the vertical movement of the firstbeam must be greater than the height of the shoulders.
