Abstract
A conveyor car used in combination with one or more conveyors to transport loads from one conveyor to another includes modular end units, modular conveyor units, a rigid coupling for coupling end units to conveyor units and a hinge coupling for coupling the two conveyor units to each other. The hinge coupling allows the two conveyor units to pivot up and down near the center of the car but provides a rigid coupling to prevent horizontal movement of the conveyor units relative to each other.
