An overhead conveyor for conveying heavy loads such as lorry frame components, lorry trailers or the like, the overhead conveyor having passive travelling mechanisms guided on rails for receiving the heavy load, wherein at least two passive travelling mechanisms are connected via a load-bearing crossmember to form a passive carrier, and the load-bearing crossmember is designed to receive the heavy load, extends substantially along the conveying direction, and is mounted underneath the passive travelling mechanism, and at least one stationary drive device for introducing a driving force into the passive carrier, wherein the drive device has a friction wheel-counter wheel arrangement and a contact device, the friction wheel being mounted on one side of the load-bearing crossmember in order to transmit the driving force to the load-bearing crossmember, and the counter wheel being mounted, transverse to the conveying direction, on the side of the load-bearing crossmember opposite said first side in order to transmit a transverse force to the load-bearing crossmember and/or to absorb a transverse force from the load-bearing crossmember, wherein a contact force is exerted by means of the contact device via the counter wheel and/or via the friction wheel in the direction of the load-bearing crossmember. The drive device has a preloading device designed to apply an additional preloading force to the contact device.
