Abstract
A transport system includes: a pair of first traveling rails (R1) affixed to and laid on a floor (F1); a pair of second traveling rails (R2) laid on another floor (F2) to be able to move in a laying direction thereof; a pair of intermediate traveling rails (RM) each including a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatably connected to an end portion of each of the first traveling rails (R1), the second end being rotatably connected to an end portion of each of the second traveling rails (R2); and a transport dolly (D) which travels on the first traveling rails (R1), the intermediate traveling rails (RM), and the second traveling rails (R2).

A transport system configured to transport a cargo between a floor and another floor which are disposed with a distance therebetween and are able to move relative to each other, the transport system comprising:
- a pair of first traveling paths configured not to move relative to the floor;
- a pair of second traveling paths laid on the another floor to be able to move in a laying direction thereof;
- a pair of intermediate traveling paths each including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to an end portion of each of the first traveling paths or the floor such that the pair of intermediate traveling paths is rotatable in a horizontal plane, the second end being connected to an end portion of each of the second traveling paths such that the pair of intermediate traveling paths is rotatable in the horizontal plane;
- and
- a transport dolly configured to travel on the first traveling paths, the intermediate traveling paths, and the second traveling paths.
