is based on an apron conveyor with bars, usually made of aluminum, which are attached to two parallel conveyor chains with a small gap between them. Orthogonally movable plates, the so-called carrying shoes, which are guided in a baffle track running underneath the apron conveyor, act as goods receptacles. In contrast to the shoe sorter, the support shoes do not act as a deflecting element, but as a supporting element. T. are realized in a linear structure due to the apron conveyor.
