Abstract
A conveyance system that improves the lifespan of an expansion and contraction part that raises and lowers a mounting base is achieved. A conveyance system according to an embodiment includes a movable moving unit, an expansion and contraction part provided in the moving unit and expanding and contracting in a vertical direction, a mounting base attached to a tip of the expansion and contraction part, and a control unit configured to select a direction from the moving unit to a shelf when a package is transferred between the mounting base and the shelf so that stress loads accumulated in the expansion and contraction part are leveled in a circumferential direction of the expansion and contraction part.
