An egg lift has feeding means 3 for feeding eggs, as well as discharge means and transport means present between them and provided with a chain with combshaped carriers 17 with adjacent carrier teeth 19. The feeding means are provided with a feeding plate 9 onto which eggs roll coming from a conveyor belt. During operation of the egg lift the carrier teeth 19 move through slots 27 present in the feeding plate 9. During the movement through the slots, the carrier teeth 19 come into the slots with their free ends 19A from below near the closed end 27B of the slots, and when the carrier teeth 19 move towards the open end 27A of the slots, they protrude with an increasing length above the slots, thereby taking the eggs along in a smooth manner.
