Abstract

The invention relates to a transport device (10), in particular for transporting cooling blocks (12) in a caterpillar casting machine, comprising a guide rail (16), which forms an endless circulating track (U) for a caterpillar casting machine (14), and a support element (18) having a plurality of rollers (20), by means of which the support element (18) is guided on the guide rail (16) and rolls along same, wherein a cooling block (12) of a caterpillar casting machine (14) can be placed on the support element (18). The guide rail (16) has a first running surface (16.1) and a second running surface (16.2), wherein the running surfaces (16.1, 16.2) are provided on opposite sides of the guide rail (16). The support element (18) has at least three rollers (20.1, 20.2, 20.3), of which two rollers (20.1, 20.2) are in rolling contact with the first running surface (16.1) of the guide rail (16), and at least one further roller (20.3) is in rolling contact with the second running surface (16.2) of the guide rail (16), wherein at least one roller (20.1; 20.2; 20.3) is preloaded towards the guide rail (16).
