Abstract
The invention includes a method and apparatus for transporting goods, such as luggage at airports, wherein the goods are placed into containers which are moved along conveyor tracks by a driving device. The containers are either moved together with the frames over a conveyor track or without the frames over a conveyor track, whereby the conveyor track driving device can directly engage and drive the container when the frame is not present.
