The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transferring a load (8) carried by a carrier member (12) between two mutually separate transport paths (3a, b). In such instance, the carrier member switches from being suspended in a device (4a) displaceable in the first carrier path (3a) to being suspended in a device (4b) displaceable in the second carrier path (3b). According to the method, the carrier member (12) when it is suspended by means of a first connecting device (9a, 11a) in the displaceable device (4a) of the first conveyor path (3a), is connected to the displaceable device (4b) of the second conveyor path (3b) by means of a second connecting device (9b, 11b). The length of the second connecting device is reduced and the carrier member (12) is switched thereby so as to be wholly suspended in the displacement device (4b) of the second conveyor path. In addition to the above disclosed carrier member (12) and the disclosed connecting devices (9a, 11a; 9b, 11b), the apparatus includes drive means for intake and discharge of at least one of the connecting devices in relation to the housing (14) of the apparatus for modifying the distance between the carrier member (12) and the displaceable device (4a, b).
