The present invention provides an article transfer device which transfers articles using hanger rods each of which includes helical ridges or helical grooves, wherein the article transfer device can ensure the sufficient number of articles to be suspended without increasing a depth of the housing and hence, the observation of the front surface of the article is facilitated and, surfaces of the articles are prevented from the formation of flaws. In an article transfer device which includes a plurality of hanger rods each of which forms helical ridges and has a length sufficient to allow the suspending of a plurality of articles therefrom, a supporter which supports the respective hanger rods such that the hanger rods are rotatable about respective axes thereof, a driver which rotates the respective hanger rods on the respective axes thereof, and a housing which accommodates the respective hanger rods, the supporter and the driver therein, each hanger rod has a pitch enlarged portion where an arrangement pitch of the helical ridges is set larger than the arrangement pitch of helical ridges in other portions to an extent that the direction of the suspended article can be changed, and the pitch enlarged portion is formed on an open-end portion side of the hanger rod which is not supported by the supporter.
