A conveyor system comprising a plurality of support members and a method thereof

A conveyor system for transporting items from a receiving section to an outlet section, the conveyor system comprising:

• a plurality of first support members for transporting the items;
• a driving system along which the plurality of first support members are connected subsequently for transporting said plurality of first support members from the receiving section to the outlet section;
• a guiding system for guiding at least the plurality of first support members;
• and
• a weighing device for weighing the items at a weighing area;
• characterized in that a second support member is arranged at a first support member by a means to form a support assembly, the means allowing the second support member for:
• i) being supported by the first support member in a first vertical position;
• and
• ii) being moved relative to the first support member between the first vertical position and a second vertical position higher than the first vertical position;
• wherein the conveyor system comprises upstream relative to the weighing area a lifting device for moving the second support member from the first vertical position towards the second vertical position and wherein the weighing device is arranged for supporting the second support member at the weighing area when said second support member is in the second vertical position.
