A method for adapting a transport path to respective dimensions of transport units, which transport units are to be moved and manipulated along the transport path, the method comprising at least the following steps: - specifying, determining and/or establishing fastening positions for at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') on at least one drive means (13, 13'), which drive means (13, 13') is moved in particular in a circulating manner, which fastening positions are connected with the dimensions of the transport units, which are to be moved along the transport path, - fixing the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') at a respective specified, determined and/or established fixing position to the at least one drive means (13, 13'), which drive means (13, 13') is moved in particular in a circulating manner, and - moving the transport units along the transport path, wherein the at least one drive means (13, 13') is being driven in circulation, which movement of the drive means (13, 13') is superimposed in time with the movement of the transport units and, as a result, the at least two working elements (6, 6'), which are preferably rod-shaped and are fixed at the respective fastening position, are acting on the transport units, wherein at least one handling device is provided, which handling device, temporarily after the specification, determination and/or establishing of the fastening positions associated with the dimensions of the transport units, comes into mechanical connection with the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements and then moves the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements to the respective fastening position on the at least one drive means (13, 13'), whereupon the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') are fixed in the respective fastening position on the at least one drive means (13, 13'). - specifying, determining and/or establishing fastening positions for at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') on at least one drive means (13, 13'), which drive means (13, 13') is moved in particular in a circulating manner, which fastening positions are connected with the dimensions of the transport units, which are to be moved along the transport path, - fixing the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') at a respective specified, determined and/or established fixing position to the at least one drive means (13, 13'), which drive means (13, 13') is moved in particular in a circulating manner, and - moving the transport units along the transport path, wherein the at least one drive means (13, 13') is being driven in circulation, which movement of the drive means (13, 13') is superimposed in time with the movement of the transport units and, as a result, the at least two working elements (6, 6'), which are preferably rod-shaped and are fixed at the respective fastening position, are acting on the transport units, wherein at least one handling device is provided, which handling device, temporarily after the specification, determination and/or establishing of the fastening positions associated with the dimensions of the transport units, comes into mechanical connection with the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements and then moves the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements to the respective fastening position on the at least one drive means (13, 13'), whereupon the at least two preferably rod-shaped working elements (6, 6') are fixed in the respective fastening position on the at least one drive means (13, 13').
