1. A handling device for a transfer of products (12a; 12d; 12e; 12f) comprising:
at least one transport unit (14a; 14b; 14d; 14e; 14f),
at least one electrodynamic conveying unit (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d; 16e; 16f), which comprises at least one electrodynamically movable mover (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d; 18e; 18f) and at least one product receiving unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f), which is arranged at the mover (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d; 18e; 18f) and has at least one sidewall (24a, 26a, 28a; 24b, 26b, 28b; 24c, 26c, 28c; 24d, 26d, 28d; 24e, 26e, 28e; 24f, 26f, 28f) extending transversally to a support surface (22a; 22b; 22c; 22d; 22e; 22f) of the product receiving unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f) and at least partially delimiting a product receiving space (30a; 30b; 30c; 30d; 30e; 30f) of the product receiving unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f), and
at least one transfer unit (32a; 32b; 32c; 32d; 32e; 32f) for a product transfer of products (12a; 12d; 12e; 12f) between the transport unit (14a; 14b; 14d; 14e; 14f) and the mover (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d; 18e; 18f),
wherein viewed in a plane extending at least substantially perpendicularly to a main extension plane of the product receiving unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f), the product receiving unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f) has at least one front face (34a; 34b; 34c; 34d; 34e; 34f) that is at least partially open, and
wherein the product receiving unit (20d; 20e; 20f) further comprises at least one ramp element (42d, 44d; 42e, 44e; 42f, 44f), which is configured to support products (12d; 12e; 12f) thereon in the product receiving space (30d; 30e; 30f) in an inclined fashion.
