A conveyance device utilizing coupled wagons comprises: wagons (2-4) adjacent to the front and rear; and left-right pairs of coupling units (13a-14b) that couple the left and right side sections of each wagon. Each coupling unit is configured so as to freely switch between a coupled state, in which relative horizontal rotation around vertical axes (15, 18) of each left and right side section of wagons adjacent front and rear is allowed, and an uncoupled state. A first coupling control means (27) that operates at least one left or right side coupling means in each coupling unit of a traveling body (1) for conveyancing that enters is provided on an entrance side of a horizontal turn path section (7) in a travel path. As a result of the operation of this first coupling control means, a coupling unit on the inside in the curving direction of the horizontal turn path section (7) is in the coupled state, a coupling unit on the outside in the curving direction of the horizontal turn path section is in the uncoupled state, and the traveling body (1) for conveyancing can enter the horizontal turn path section (7). |
