| 1. A surface treatment installation comprising a transfer station for the vertical or horizontal transfer of an article, wherein
the transfer station comprises:
a) a stationary supporting structure,
b) a slide that is provided for receiving the article and is displaceable relative to the supporting structure,
c) at least one guide roller, via which the slide is supported on the supporting structure and which has a roller surface
that during a rolling operation is in contact with the supporting structure, wherein
at least the roller surface of the at least one guide roller is made of an antistatic material, the electrical volume resistivity
of which is at least on average between 10 Ωm and 109 Ωm.
