Abstract
The invention relates to a conveying apparatus, in particular overhead conveying apparatus, for transporting conveyable articles along at least one conveying route ( ). The conveying apparatus comprises a carrying-profile arrangement ( ) which extends along the conveying route and has a running-rail arrangement ( ) for guiding conveyable-article carriers ( ). It is proposed that at least one running rail ( ) of the running-rail arrangement be designed as a running-rail component which is separate from the carrying-profile arrangement ( ) and is mounted in a floating manner on the carrying-profile arrangement such that, at least in certain areas, it can compensate for a change in length by moving relative to the carrying-profile arrangement.
