Abstract: A reloading device, e.g. a combined reloading -- loading device, which on one hand so rests on a transfer device movable above a storage place conveyor that the transfer device can carry out pivotal movements about a vertical axis and an axis transverse to the belt bridge axis while being prevented from carrying out longitudinal movements, and on the other hand rests on a carriage by the aid of rocker means which is equipped with rollers as support for supporting rails mounted on the belt bridge and extending approximately in the longitudinal direction of the belt bridge. The supporting rails are mounted on the belt bridge for pivoting about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the belt bridge and are arrestable relative to the belt bridge at such inclinations that the reaction force component acting approximately in the longitudinal direction of the belt bridge and originating in the pick-up means is at least partially transformed onto the carriage.
