Abstract
A first cable body allows a first transport apparatus to move in a first movement area by deforming as the first transport apparatus moves along a first direction. A second cable body allows a second transport apparatus to move in a second movement area, which at least partially overlaps the first movement area, by deforming as the second transport apparatus moves along the first direction. Assuming that a direction perpendicular to both the first direction and an up-down direction is a second direction, the first cable body and the second cable body are arranged on the same side in the second direction relative to a rail so that the respective arrangement areas in the second direction overlap each other at least partially.
