A conveyor assembly includes a trolley, a skid, a stationary cam member and a cam follower. The skid is positioned on the trolley. The stationary cam member is downstream of the trolley. The cam follower is fixed to the trolley for pivotal movement with respect thereto. The cam follower moves in response to contact with the stationary cam. With the trolley in a first location the cam follower moves to a release orientation. With the trolley moved to a second location the cam follower moves to a stop orientation. In the stop orientation a surface of the cam follower contacts the skit restricting movement thereof. In the release orientation the cam follower is moved away from the skid such that the skid is movable in the second direction past the cam follower.
