System for the treatment of objects, in particular the cataphoretic dip painting of objects, in particular vehicle bodies

A system for the treatment of objects comprising:

• a) at least one dipping tank in which objects undergo a treatment;
• b) two parallel rails;
• c) at least one transport carriage which guides the objects through the system and in so doing puts the objects into the at least one dipping tank and takes the objects out of the at least one dipping tank, and which includes:
• ca) a running gear that travels on the two rails;
• cb) a shaft which is connected to the running gear and, in an operating position, extends transversely in relation to the two rails, from the one rail to the other rail;
• cc) at least one pivotal arm which is connected to the shaft such that it cannot rotate in relation thereto;
• cd) a mounting frame, which is connected to the at least one pivotal arm, for at least one object, and wherein,
• d) the shaft is articulated in a manner pivotal on the running gear in an end region adjacent to one of the two rails such that the shaft is rotatable, together with the at least one pivotal arm and the mounting frame, into a space-saving position in which the shaft extends substantially parallel to one of the two rails.
