A device for transporting objects to a destination has the aim of providing an economical and simplified design of a technical solution for transferring containers in an ergonomic manner such that the operating processes are substantially facilitated. A transfer mechanism contains, on a vertically adjustable platform, a carrier for the object to be transported, which carrier can be extended horizontally in the direction of the destination. There is provided a compulsory linking of the vertical adjustment of the platform and the horizontal adjustment of the carrier and a shared driving element is provided for both adjustments. The device is used for the transport of objects in semiconductor fabricating plants.
