A system for moving along articles, such as beverage containers or the like, the system comprising - at least one conveyor chain which provides or forms a standing surface for the standing transport of articles, wherein the conveyor chain is formed from a multitude of chain links connected to each other in an articulated manner, - as well as at least two stationary sliding rails (20, 21), with which the at least one conveyor chain is in surface contact during the transport of articles, wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two specific, defined and/or delineated areas, which specific areas are designed for the surface contact with at least two stationary sliding rails (20, 21), and wherein it is provided that the at least one conveyor chain in the defined and/or delineated areas, which areas are provided for a surface contact with the at least two sliding rails (20, 21) or form a surface contact with the sliding rails (20, 21), is formed from and/or has a material with an abrasion resistance that is increased compared to other areas, wherein the at least two specific areas are each formed by at least one insert element, characterised in that the insert elements are each inserted into recesses (24, 25) in the chain link, and wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two recesses (24, 25), which are each formed to correspond to the insert elements, so that the insert elements can each be inserted flush into the recesses of the chain links. - at least one conveyor chain which provides or forms a standing surface for the standing transport of articles, wherein the conveyor chain is formed from a multitude of chain links connected to each other in an articulated manner, - as well as at least two stationary sliding rails (20, 21), with which the at least one conveyor chain is in surface contact during the transport of articles, wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two specific, defined and/or delineated areas, which specific areas are designed for the surface contact with at least two stationary sliding rails (20, 21), and wherein it is provided that the at least one conveyor chain in the defined and/or delineated areas, which areas are provided for a surface contact with the at least two sliding rails (20, 21) or form a surface contact with the sliding rails (20, 21), is formed from and/or has a material with an abrasion resistance that is increased compared to other areas, wherein the at least two specific areas are each formed by at least one insert element, characterised in that the insert elements are each inserted into recesses (24, 25) in the chain link, and wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two recesses (24, 25), which are each formed to correspond to the insert elements, so that the insert elements can each be inserted flush into the recesses of the chain links. wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two specific, defined and/or delineated areas, which specific areas are designed for the surface contact with at least two stationary sliding rails (20, 21), and wherein it is provided that the at least one conveyor chain in the defined and/or delineated areas, which areas are provided for a surface contact with the at least two sliding rails (20, 21) or form a surface contact with the sliding rails (20, 21), is formed from and/or has a material with an abrasion resistance that is increased compared to other areas, wherein the at least two specific areas are each formed by at least one insert element, characterised in that the insert elements are each inserted into recesses (24, 25) in the chain link, and wherein the particular chain link comprises at least two recesses (24, 25), which are each formed to correspond to the insert elements, so that the insert elements can each be inserted flush into the recesses of the chain links.
