Abstract

A device for transferring continuous cast slabs arranged parallel to and equidistant from one another to an individual production line arranged in extension of one of the continuous casting strands, wherein the cycle time for transferring and conveying the slabs is to be reduced. This is achieved by a ferry which is movable transversely by steps between the ends of the continuous casting strands and the start of the production line and which has berths serving for receiving and delivering the slabs substantially simultaneously.
