Abstract
In order to transport a flat material to be treated () in an installation for the chemical and/or electrochemical treatment of said material, within which the material to be treated () is transported within a plane of transport in a direction of transport (), holding means () are attached to said material to be treated (). The holding means () hold the material to be treated () at at least two points on an edge region of said material, which edge region is directed along the direction of transport () when said material to be treated () is being transported. The holding means () are coupled in a detachable manner to a transporting device () which moves said holding means () in the direction of transport in order to transport the material to be treated (). At least during a portion of the transportation of the material to be treated (), a force () having a component which lies within the plane of transport and is directed transversely to the direction of transport (), is exerted upon a region of the material to be treated (), for example upon the longitudinal edge regions.
