In a container raising/lowering conveyance apparatus according to the present invention, pairs of secondary movable bases (pair 30a and 30b and pair 31a and 31b) capable of being moved closer to and away from each other in the Y direction are provided to a pair of main movable bases (21 a and 21b) provided so as to be capable of being moved closer to and away from each other in the X direction. Four gripping raising/lowering bodies (45a to 46b) are respectively and separately supported by the four secondary movable bases so as to be capable of being raised and lowered. Vertical rod-shaped main bodies (66), which are supported by the respective main movable bases so as to be capable of being raised and lowered and which are raised and lowered by being driven by raising/lowering drive means, are disposed at intermediate positions between the Y-direction pairs of gripping raising/lowering bodies. Upper end portions of the vertical rod-shaped main bodies (66) and upper end portions of the gripping raising/lowering bodies at both sides of the vertical rod-shaped main bodies (66) in the Y direction are coupled by coupling means (51A and 51B), which allow the gripping raising/lowering bodies to be moved closer to and away from each other in the Y direction. |
