The three wheel pairs are rotatably supported by self-lubricated bearings (104). The connection apparatus may comprise either connection rods (108) or a wire rope (254). In another embodiment, the conveyor comprises identical links (364 and 366) each including first (364) and second (366) link portions. The link portions are pivotally interconnected by a first connecting pin (368) which also supports a first pair of wheels (370).
