CONVEYING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONVEYING METAL STRIP COILS

The invention relates to a conveying device (1) for conveying metal strip coils (2). The conveying device (1) comprises: at least one coil carrier (3) which is designed to carry a metal strip coil (2); two conveying stations (4, 5) which are arranged at different heights and which are each designed to receive one coil carrier (3); and a conveyor track (6) which extends between the conveying stations (4, 5) and has a conveyor drive (7) by means of which a coil carrier (3) can be conveyed on the conveyor track (6) between the conveying stations (4, 5). Each conveying station (4, 5) is tiltable between a first end position in which the conveying station (4, 5) is oriented horizontally and a second end position, wherein the conveying station (4, 5) has an inclination in the second end position which corresponds to the inclination of the conveyor track (6) and adjoins the conveyor track (6) so that a coil carrier (3) can be conveyed by means of the conveyor drive (7) from the conveyor track (6) into the conveying station (4, 5) and from the conveying station (4, 5) onto the conveyor track (6).
