Abstract
Product carrier, moveable along a conveyor track (33, 34) in a conveyor arrangement, and designed as a trolley, which has two wheel units (3, 4) which are moved along the conveyor track. Suspended from each wheel unit is a carrier arm (5, 6) for the products that are to be conveyed. The carrier arms (5, 6) are connected to one another by means of a positioning mechanism (9), which maintains a selected essential distance (a) between the wheel units (5, 6) regardless of the inclination of the track.
