Moreover, a second shunt unit (58) is associated with at least one of the two tracks (22) and selectively opens or closes a through opening (60), provided in that track (22), for the bracketlike mounting element of the conveyor carriage. Regardless of whether the second shunt unit (58) is provided, the first shunt units (52, 54) are embodied as self-locking in directions opposite from one another.
