Guideway for transport means

Abstract

The invention relates to transport systems of most varied applications. The essence of the invention: a guide track comprises two supporting elements ( 1 ), at least one longitudinal element ( 2 ), and transverse elements ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) connecting the above elements. To enhance the structure's stiffness and to unitize it, one makes use of side sheets ( 5 ), which interconnect elements ( 1 ) with at least one longitudinal element ( 2 ) or form a longitudinal element.
