Abstract
A container raising/lowering conveyance apparatus has a pair of main movable bases relatively movable in the X direction, and on each main movable base, a pair of secondary movable bases relatively movable in the Y direction. Four gripping raising/lowering bodies are supported by the four secondary movable bases so as to be capable of being raised and lowered. Vertical rod-shaped main bodies supported by the main movable bases are raised and lowered by a raising/lowering drive and are disposed at intermediate positions between the Y-direction pairs of the gripping raising/lowering bodies. Upper end portions of the vertical rod-shaped main bodies and gripping raising/lowering bodies at both sides of the vertical rod-shaped main bodies in the Y direction are coupled, allowing the gripping raising/lowering bodies to be relatively movable in the Y direction.
