A vertical transfer device for a conveying device, comprising a main rotor, a compensation rotor and a conveyed goods support, wherein the main rotor is designed for rotating at least one node point for the conveyed goods support about a main axis of rotation extending essentially horizontally, the node point being at a first distance from the main axis of rotation and the vertical transfer device being designed for keeping the conveyed goods support essentially horizontal during the rotation about the main axis of rotation, wherein the conveyed goods support is coupled at the node point of the main rotor by means of the compensation rotor, the compensation rotor being designed for rotating the conveyed goods support about a compensation axis of rotation extending essentially in parallel to the main axis of rotation through the node point, and the conveyed goods support being at a second distance from the compensation axis of rotation, wherein the main rotor and the compensation rotor are designed for rotating in opposite directions, characterized in that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is three times higher than a main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen such that the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially square trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device, or that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is two times higher than a main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen such that the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially triangular trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device, or that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is equal to the main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen to be of equal size, whereby the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially linear trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device. wherein the conveyed goods support is coupled at the node point of the main rotor by means of the compensation rotor, the compensation rotor being designed for rotating the conveyed goods support about a compensation axis of rotation extending essentially in parallel to the main axis of rotation through the node point, and the conveyed goods support being at a second distance from the compensation axis of rotation, wherein the main rotor and the compensation rotor are designed for rotating in opposite directions, characterized in that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is three times higher than a main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen such that the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially square trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device, or that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is two times higher than a main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen such that the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially triangular trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device, or that the compensation rotor is designed for rotating the conveyed goods support at a compensating angular velocity (ω2) that is equal to the main angular velocity (ω1) at which the main rotor rotates the node point, and wherein the first and second distances (d1, d2) are chosen to be of equal size, whereby the conveyed goods support moves along an essentially linear trajectory during the operation of the vertical transfer device.
