Abstract: A sorting device comprising an endless path placed on a frame, a series of trays provided with a pusher mechanism to be driven by an exchange system placed on the frame for pushing away an object substantially transverse to the conveyance direction, a drive system comprising alternately arranged first and second driving elements that are mutually connected to each other so as to hinge for a movement of the drive system that is oriented substantially parallel to the conveyance direction, a drive adapted for transferring a drive power onto the drive system, which power is directed substantially parallel to the conveyance direction.
