A truck transport apparatus comprises a trolley running rail 11, a front trolley 32 and a rear trolley 33 arranged along the rail 11 in a truck running direction, a truck body 35 connected to the front trolley 32 and the rear trolley 33 at a lengthwise intermediate portion of each trolley so as to permit each trolley to pivotally move horizontally, a driven rod 38 having a front end connected to a rear end of the front trolley 32 so as to make the front trolley 32 free to pivotally move horizontally and a rear end connected to a front end of the rear trolley 33 so as to make the rear trolley 33 free to pivotally move horizontally, and a pair of transport rollers 84, 87 for holding the driven rod 38 therebetween from opposite sides thereof to give the rod a propelling force. The driven rod 38 is extended when the truck is about to move into a curved path of movement from a straight path of movement, while the rod 38 is contracted when the truck is about to move into the straight path from the curved path.
An apparatus for transporting trucks which comprises a trolley running rail, a front trolley and a rear trolley arranged along the rail in a truck running direction, a truck body connected to the front trolley and the rear trolley at a lengthwise intermediate portion of each trolley so as to permit each trolley to pivotally move horizontally, a driven rod having a front end connected to a rear end of the front trolley so as to make the front trolley free to pivotally move horizontally and a rear end connected to a front end of the rear trolley so as to make the rear trolley free to pivotally move horizontally, and a pair of transport rollers for holding the driven rod therebetween from opposite sides thereof to give the rod a propelling force, the rail having a straight path of movement and a curved path of movement, the driven rod being extensible when the truck is about to move into the curved path from the straight path and contractable when the truck is about to move into the straight path from the curved path.
