A conveyance apparatus for conveying a mold into an injection molding machine includes a frame configured to form a supporting plane for supporting the mold, and an actuator configured to move the mold along the supporting plane between a first position inside the injection molding machine and a second position different from the first position, wherein the improvement to the conveyance apparatus includes the actuator being located below the supporting plane in a vertical direction; and a linking unit configured to link the mold and the actuator, wherein the linking unit is connectable to a side surface of the mold, wherein, in a state where the mold is at the second position, at least a part of the actuator is closer to the injection molding machine than the side surface of the mold in a conveying direction where the actuator moves the mold.
