Abstract: A conveyor for detachable skid platforms includes a conveying path defining a conveying direction, an endless drive transporter, and hangers associated with the endless drive transporter, and defining a suspension direction and a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the plane defined by the suspension direction and by the conveying direction, each of the hangers having a free end with a loading mechanism designed to co-operate with a complementary loading mechanism on a skid platform supporting an object to be conveyed. All of the hangers are associated with the endless drive transporter of a single overhead transporter.
