Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concept provide an article transfer apparatus and an article transfer method which can temporarily load a container, and which can vary its size according to necessity, so an interference with surrounding structures do not occur while varying the size. The inventive concept provides an article transfer apparatus at which an OHT transfers a container. The article transfer apparatus includes: a top support unit fixed to a top space within a semiconductor fab; a bottom support unit positioned spaced apart below the top support unit and on which the container is mounted; a link unit coupled between the top support unit and the bottom support unit and which can be folded; a folding driving unit connecting the top support unit and the link unit, and configured so when not driven a space that the container can be mounted on is formed by the link unit being spread, and when driven the bottom support unit closely contacts the top support unit by folding the link unit, and wherein the folding driving unit is positioned to not go beyond a top portion of the support unit.
