A device for conveying packaged goods and/or bulk goods from and/or into a transport device, said device comprising
- a boom with at least one substantially vertically movably mounted conveying unit for conveying the goods,
- a drive for producing substantially vertical movement of the conveying unit and
- a force transmission unit, wherein the device further comprises:
- a first fastening device and a second device selected from the group consisting of a second fastening device and at least one force deflection unit for the force transmission unit, wherein
- the conveying unit and the drive are arranged between the first fastening device and the second device in relation to at least one direction defined along the force transmission unit,
- the force transmission unit is designed so that the conveying unit is movable substantially vertically by the drive, and further comprising
- a substantially vertically movable counterweight connected to the drive and/or mounted between the first fastening device and the second device.
A method for conveying packaged goods and/or bulk goods from and/or into a transport device, comprising the following steps:
- setting up a device comprising a boom with an at least substantially vertically movably mounted conveying unit for conveying the packaged goods and/or the bulk goods, a drive for moving the conveying unit substantially vertically and a force transmission unit, wherein the device has a first fastening device and a second device selected from the group consisting of a second fastening device and at least one force deflection unit for the force transmission unit, wherein the conveying unit and the drive are mounted between the first fastening device and the second device in relation to a direction defined along the force transmission unit, and wherein the device further comprises a substantially vertically movable counterweight which is connected to the drive and/or mounted between the first fastening device and the second device;
- positioning the conveying unit substantially vertically by means of the drive relative to the transport device for conveying;
- conveying the packaged goods and/or bulk goods from and/or into the transport device.
