FIELD: transport conveyors. SUBSTANCE: trailer conveyor has guide track, car installed on track for travel, flexible traction member, magnetic friction drive and electromagnet. It has also ferromagnetic strip installed on car for travel in plane square to plane of track. Flexible traction member is made in form of hinge-coupled ferromagnetic members installed for engagement with magnetic friction drive. Electromagnet is rigidly secured on flexible traction member and is installed for coupling with ferromagnetic strip of load-bearing car. Coupling effort of electromagnet and ferromagnetic strip is greater than coupling effort of ferromagnetic elements of flexible traction member and magnetic friction drive. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 3 dwg
