Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one embodiment, a transfer system has a conveyor system with first and second conveyors. The first conveyor has inner and outer sides and a first conveyor surface between the inner and outer sides that is configured to carry payloads along a first direction. The second conveyor has inner and outer sides and a second conveyor surface between the inner and outer sides of the second conveyor that is configured to carry payloads along the first direction. The first and second conveyors are coupled to one another such that the inner sides are spaced closer to one another than the outer sides and the first and second conveyors are angularly offset from one another. The transfer system also has a movement system that moves the conveyor system along at least one of a vertical direction, and a second direction so as to align the conveyor system with another conveyor system.
