Mounting base member, mounting base, and mounting method

A method for mounting an object to be conveyed using a pair of mounting base members, the object to be conveyed being mounted on a mounting surface of a conveyance apparatus and being conveyed, each of the mounting base members having:

• a body part configured to support the object to be conveyed;
• and
• a top plate part that includes a bottom surface, a first lateral surface part, a second lateral surface part opposite to the first lateral surface part in a first direction, and an extending portion that horizontally extends in the first direction from an upper part of the first lateral surface part,
• wherein:
• a first height is defined between a lower end and an upper end of the first lateral surface part,
• a second height is defined between a lower end and an upper end of the second lateral surface,
• the second height is less than the first height,
• the upper ends of the first and second lateral surface parts are not coplanar while the lower ends of the first and second lateral surface parts are on a plane at which the bottom surface contacts the body part, and
• an upper surface of the body part contacting the object to be conveyed is flush with an upper surface of the extending portion,
• the method comprising:
• arranging the mounting base members such that the conveyance apparatus is positioned between the body parts, and such that the top plate parts are positioned above a lifting part of the conveyance apparatus.
