A linear transport system includes a movable unit, a guide rail for guiding the movable unit, and a linear motor for driving the movable unit along the guide rail. The linear transport system also includes at least one switch having at least one static retraction element with a retraction motor module and a retraction rail element, and at least two static extension elements, each with an extension motor module and an extension rail element. The switch includes an exchange device having at least two exchange elements, each with an exchange motor module and an exchange rail element. In a first position of the exchange device, the retraction element is connected to a first extension element via a first exchange element. In a second position, the retraction element is connected to a second extension element via a second exchange element.

A transverse conveyor serves to transport of heavy loads from a first, horizontally extending roller conveyor table to a second, horizontally extending roller conveyor table. The transverse conveyor is designed and configured as a roller table segment and is designed to be inserted in a flush manner both into the first and in the second roller conveyor table. A device is provided for the transverse transport of the transverse conveyors between the roller conveyor tables. The device for the transverse transport of the transverse conveyors is configured and is designed to overcome a height difference between the first roller conveyor table and the second roller conveyor table.
