Abstract
A shifting device for rolling stock placed on a roller conveyor includes a pair of linear shifting members which can be moved toward each other and away from each other transversely of the conveying direction of the roller conveyor and above the conveying plane of the roller conveyor, wherein the linear shifting members are each arranged on guide crossheads which are supported on rollers and are driven by drive devices arranged stationary outside of the roller conveyor so as to move the guide crossheads between and parallel to the rollers of the roller conveyor. The rollers supporting the guide crossheads are mounted in the two end portions of each guide crosshead and are guided on roller tables arranged on both sides of the conveying path of the roller conveyor and connected to the support frames of the roller conveyor.
