Abstract
Rail conveyor element which can be displaced on a rail system with intersecting rails, includes a base and a wheel-bearing cassette which supports the base and in which at least one wheel is accommodated to rest on a rail, the wheel-bearing cassette is rotatably mounted around a vertical axis relative to the base and the rail conveyor element includes a pressure ram with actuator which extends downward on or below the base and can be displaced between a raised unloaded position which coincides with the transport position of the rail conveyor and a lowered loaded position to unload the wheel-bearing cassette relative to the rail.
Claims16
A rail conveyor element which is adapted to be displaced on a rail system with intersecting rails comprising:
- a base,
- a wheel-bearing cassette mounted on the base, which, in a transport position of the rail conveyor element supports the base,
- at least one wheel in the base and accommodated to rest on a said rail and
- a pressure ram with actuator which extends downward on or below said base and is adapted to be moved by an actuator between a raised unloaded position which coincides with the transport position of the rail conveyor element and a lowered loaded position for unloading the wheel-bearing cassette relative to a said rail,
- wherein the wheel-bearing cassette is mounted to be rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the base.
