A deviating device for deviating a transporting means in a deviating plane was a deviating unit, two track portions of a movement path of a transporting means adjoining the deviating device and clamping the deviating plane, and mountable on the deviating unit, the track portions being mountable on a separate component of the deviating device, the components being turnable relative to one another about a turning axis which is substantially orthogonal to the deviating plane and being fixable in a predetermined angular position.
