Abstract

A track-guided transport system having at least one track made up of bearing and track-guidance elements on which at least one transport vehicle is guided as main vehicle, which has device(s) for self-automated movement along the track, and to which energy is transmitted from a primary circuit which has a contact wire and is installed along the track, or in a contactless manner, the main vehicle including a lifting platform which is able to be driven by a drive, for example, an electric motor or gear motor, and on which there is at least one satellite vehicle which has a drive such as an electric motor or gear motor, for self-automated movement along an additional track, and which is configured for the transportation of goods, the track including a satellite track section for positioning and parking the satellite vehicle, the satellite track section being able to be brought into flush alignment by positioning the main vehicle on satellite tracks disposed along its track, perpendicular thereto, these satellite tracks being disposed on shelves, the satellite track sections and satellite tracks including primary conductors, which are contactlessly supplied with energy from the main vehicle, currents modulated upon the primary lines and/or the primary circuit to a higher frequency, e.g., a medium frequency, being provided for the contactless transmission of information between a fixed station, a carrier vehicle and/or a satellite vehicle.
