The invention relates to a storage conveyor with a charging point and a removal point, in which a removal device (20) is arranged in front of the removal point (II). This removal device (20) is formed by a separately driven conveyor belt (21) which is arranged between the two strands (2a, 2b) of the horizontally revolving chain conveyor (2). The conveyor belt (21) is guided in such a manner that it runs from a plane situated below the chain conveyor (2) into a plane above it. The hanger hooks (1), which rest with the head region on the chain conveyor (2), are picked up at the tip by the conveyor belt (21), raised from the chain conveyor (2) and transferred to a sliding rail (15) at the removal point (II), where they slide along, again with the head region, under the effect of gravity. By means of this arrangement of the conveyor, it is possible to remove the hangers (1) in a rectilinear manner so that a high level of dynamics is possible. When the conveyor belt (21) revolves faster than the chain conveyor (2), a singling process takes place simultaneously with the lifting off of the hangers (1).
