To provide a transport device (1) in the form of a long-stator linear motor that allows the orientation of a transport unit (Tn) to be changed, it is provided according to the invention that the transport route (2) has a turnaround portion (W), which is provided to change the orientation of the transport unit (Tn) by 180° in the longitudinal direction along the transport route (2), wherein the turnaround portion (W) has an entrance (W E), which is connected to a first transport route portion (TA1) by a first entrance end (E E1), and a second, open entrance end (E E2), and has an exit (W A), which is connected to a second transport route portion (TA2) by a first exit end (E A1), and a second, open exit end (E A2), wherein the entrance (W E) and the exit (W A) of the turnaround portion (W) form a common movement path (B) at least in some portions in the region of a first transfer position (U1), the transport unit (Tn) being movable along said path, and that, in order to be turned around, the transport unit (Tn) can be moved from the first transport route portion (TA1) to the entrance (W E) of the turnaround portion (W), transferred from the entrance (W E) to the exit (W A) of the turnaround portion (W) at the first transfer position (U1), and moved from the exit (W A) of the turnaround portion (W) to the second transport route portion (TA2).
