A vertical transfer device for a conveying device, including a main rotor operable to rotate about a node point for a conveyed goods support about a main axis of rotation (HA) extending horizontally, the node point being at a first distance from the main axis of rotation (HA) and the vertical transfer device is operable to keep the conveyed goods support horizontal during the rotation about the main axis of rotation (HA). The conveyed goods support is coupled at the node point of the main rotor by a compensation rotor that is operable to rotate the conveyed goods support about a compensation axis of rotation (AA) extending in parallel to the main axis of rotation (HA) through the node point, and the conveyed goods support being at a second distance from the compensation axis of rotation (AA).
