Abstract
A transport device for rapidly changing ladles for the continuous supply of metal melt to continuous casting plants by means of a reciprocating ladle bogie which is provided with means for receiving a sintle ladle. The bogie is moved between an operative position and an inoperative position, the bogie is positioned above a support from which an emptied casting ladle can be removed. In the operative position, the bogie is positioned above a casting station for supplying metal melt. The ladle bogie is open on the side nearest to the support and is rapidly driven back and forth between the inoperative and operative positions to provide a filled ladle from a crane and thereafter move an empty ladle to the support stand-by position for removal by the crane.
