A transport apparatus for transporting objects includes a reference surface; electric energizing means to selectively generate one or more magnetic fields associated with the reference surface; and at least one transport member configured to support and transport the objects and to move without contact with respect to the reference surface. The transport member includes first magnetic means. The electric energizing means are configured to interact with the first magnetic means and cause the displacement of the transport member. A second magnetic means includes at least one magnetic device configured to assume a first condition in which the magnetic device is inactive and a second condition in which the magnetic device is active and generates a magnetic attraction force suitable to interact with the first magnetic means to block the transport member with respect to the reference surface when a correct interaction between the electric energizing means and the first magnetic means is missing.
