Abstract: Transport system for transporting components on transport vehicles between stations that includes a movement unit, holding device, and lifting/lowering device for holding device. Lifting/lowering device includes a plurality of constructional elements, which are connected by at least one joint, and at least two constructional elements form a Y-shape. Transport system also includes at least one lifting drive. A point of action of lifting drive is arranged on holding device or in vicinity of an attachment point of holding device to lifting/lowering device, which is located on a constructional element connected to holding device. Point of action is spaced from constructional element with attachment point by a distance between 0 and 50% of length of longest constructional element connected to holding device. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
