Cet organe transporteur (1) peut présenter un autre câble (1.2) de même longueur que le câble de traction (1.1), circulant de manière sensiblement parallèle à ce dernier et servant de câble de guidage ou de deuxième câble de traction. Des éléments de préhension, placés latéralement sur l'organe transporteur (1) en forme de bande, formé par les câbles (1.1,1.2) et les éléments transporteurs (2), sont disposés sur ces derniers (2) pour saisir et maintenir des produits imprimés (11) individuels ou des groupes de produits imprimés (11). L'organe transporteur (1) est dévié dans différents plans de déviation par l'intermédiaire de moyens de guidage (4) se présentant par exemple sous la forme de poulies de déviation (5) et déformé entre ces différents plans de déviation, ce qui entraîne ou peut entraîner des modifications de la position spatiale des éléments transporteurs (2) et des produits imprimés (11) transportés. Les moyens de guidage (4) présentent des organes de guidage (6.1,6.2) rotatifs, qui sont placés de façon à être en contact avec les éléments transporteurs (2). Ce système de transport peut être facilement adapté à des tâches de transport très différentes et/ou être utilisé pour ces dernières par le fait que la position des éléments transporteurs (2) sur les câbles (1.1, 1.2) peut être sélectionnée librement et par le fait que les autres éléments fonctionnels du système, notamment les moyens de guidage (4) et les organes de guidage rotatifs (6.1, 6.2) sont dans une large mesure indépendants de la distance séparant les éléments transporteurs (2).
