Abstract
A longitudinal member is provided for a load conveyor, including a main body having a plurality of holes suitable for receiving one end of a load supporting element. The main body has a C-section with first and second side flanges extending substantially perpendicularly from first and second ends of a central web. The longitudinal member includes a guiding element extending from the second side flange. The longitudinal member is reversible. In a first direction, the guiding element is located above the main body, the cavity opens opposite the load supporting elements and each of a first group of holes receives one end of one of the load supporting elements. In a second direction, the guiding element is located below the main body, the cavity opens opposite the load supporting elements and each of a second group of holes receives one end of one of the load supporting elements.
