Abstract
A device for stepwise conveying of massive objects, includes a fixed series of laying stations spaced by a constant pitch and a mobile series of recovery stations spaced by the same pitch and arranged on a supporting beam that is movable vertically and longitudinally. The supporting beam rests on the floor by means of at least two actuators for level adjustment operated in a synchronous fashion and each associated with a device for sliding guiding of the supporting beam thereby enabling longitudinal displacement of the said beam in a forward direction in raised position and in a backward direction in lowered position.
