Conveying operation equipment has a conveying carriage with an operating region between a workpiece support portion and a side of the conveying carriage. A reciprocating movement path of an operation device is provided such that part or the whole of the operation device is overlaid on the operating region on the conveying carriage and a synchronous forward-traveling mechanism which makes the operation device travel synchronously with the conveying carriage is formed with a transmission mechanism in an upper portion of the conveying carriage and a passive portion in a bottom portion of the operation device and a transmission state switch which switches the transmission mechanism to a transmission state at the beginning end position of the reciprocating movement path and which switches the transmission mechanism to a transmission release state at the terminal end position of the reciprocating movement path.

Conveying operation equipment

Conveying equipment includes carriages having a frame with front and rear ends coupled to adjacent carriages by vertical support shafts and having a floor board which is supported by the frame. A floor board main portion has a protruding arc-shaped end edge concentric with one of the vertical support shafts and a floor board sub-portion which has a recessed arc-shaped end edge concentric with the other vertical support shaft. The protruding arc-shaped end edge in one carriage and the recessed arc-shaped end edge in an adjacent carriage are relatively rotatable around the common vertical support shaft located at the arc centers of each of the edges. The floor board main portion overhangs from one end of the frame in each of the carriages and is supported on an overhanging portion which overhangs from the floor board sub-portion in the adjacent carriage so as to be freely relatively rotated.
