Abstract
A conveyor truck including a truck body and a plurality of rotary members rotatably mounted on the truck body in a plane parallel to the floor. A pair of drive wheels, rotatable by aligned rotary shafts lying in a plane parallel to the floor, are mounted on each rotary member. The rotation of each drive wheel can be independently controlled. Supports are mounted on the respective rotary members and are arranged generally perpendicular to the rotary shafts of the drive wheels. The supports support the drive wheels so as to rotate about the center axes of the respective rotary members and parallel to the floor, whereby the conveyor truck can smoothly move in any direction without reorientation of the truck body.
