Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2907879A1] A rail-guided conveyor means includes a conveyor carriage (3) with at least three rollers (4a, 4b, 4c) for rolling along a rail guide. The planes of rotation (R) of the at least three rollers (4a, 4b, 4c) are at an angle or more than 90° and less than 180° relative to each other. The corresponding conveyor system includes a plurality of such conveyor means and a corresponding rail guide with a rail body. The rail body includes a longitudinal rail body portion with three running surfaces on the outer periphery of the rail body for the at least three rollers (4a, 4b, 4c) of the conveyor means. The surface normals of the three running surfaces are at an angle of more than 90° and less than 180° relative to each other.
