Abstract
A conveyor carrier includes a front end trolley that is a free trolley having an engagement dog that engages with a traction dog of a power chain drive device, and a connection rod located between the front end trolley and an object support unit. The connection rod includes a front division body and a rear division body. The front division body and the rear division body are supported by a slide support unit so as to be relatively slidable in a front-rear direction. A shock absorber in the front-rear direction is disposed between the front division body and the rear division body. The connection rod has a side surface that serves as a drive surface with which a friction roller of a friction roller drive device is in pressure contact.
