FIELD: transport machinery.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to overhead conveying device (01, 30) for integration into an assembly plant for transporting vehicle components (31) via conveying device (33). Conveying device (33) has supporting framework (03, 38), and conveying device (33) is configured to be mounted on supporting framework (03, 38), and form conveying corridor (32) in which vehicle components (31) can be transported from input point (16) to output point (17). Supporting framework (03, 38) is supported by means of bearing means (09, 39) supported on floor (47) of the assembly plant. Free space, which is suitable for component assembly and/or for component transport and which can be walked and/or driven through is formed between the underside of supporting framework (03, 38) and the upper side of floor (47) by bearing means (09, 39). Securing element (18, 19; 47) can be moved between a securing position and an opening position, wherein security element 18, 19; 47 functions in the securing position as fall protection and at least partially blocks the initial cross-section and/or terminal cross-section of conveying corridor (32) and in its opening position, the securing element releases the initial cross-section and/or terminal cross-section of conveying corridor (32) for the transport of vehicle components (31) with the help of conveying device (33).
EFFECT: fall protection is provided.
