Abstract
An overhead transport vehicle includes a first support, a second support, and a link. The first support includes a first buffer and is connected to a belt on one side of a body in a width direction in plan view. The second support includes a second buffer and is connected to a belt at the other side of the body in the width direction. The link connects the first support and the second support, and reduces each of a first distance between the first support and a base and a second distance between the second support and the base in the vertical direction. The link includes at least one of a third buffer to allow relative movement of the base in a travel direction and a fourth buffer to allow relative movement thereof in the width direction with respect to the first and second supports.
