# Tilting device and method for tilting packages

## Abstract

A tilting device for a conveying system in a picking facility and method for tilting packages. Packages, conveyed from a conveying inlet to a conveying outlet, are tiltable. The tilting device includes an inlet and outlet, a first limb connected to the inlet and outlet, and a second limb connected to the outlet. The limbs include conveying drives actuatable independently of one another to convey packages along a conveying direction, and tilting drives actuatable independently of one another to pivot the limbs about a pivot axis. The pivot axis is oriented crosswise to the conveying direction so a package conveyed onto the tilting device via the inlet can, depending on its orientation, be ejected without a change in orientation, or can be tilted from the first limb onto the second limb by actuation of the tilting drives to be ejected.
