PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transport device enabling certain, smooth and stable transportation of a vessel, etc., in the hung-down or inverted condition, assuring always constant spacing of a pair of chain bodies, easy to handle, structured simply, excellent in the durability, unlikely to go in failure, suitable for mass- production, embodied at a low cost, operating economically, allowing setting small the minimum radius of bending, and capable of accomplishing different types of space-saving transportation. SOLUTION: The transport device comprises a pair of rails B furnished with mounting recesses 20 at the side faces confronting each other and a pair of chain bodies A to be fitted in the recesses 20 slidably, wherein each chain body A consists of a plurality of chain links 1 which are coupled together through coupling pins 15 arranged approximately in the plumb direction, and each chain link 1 is composed of a front plate 10 and a coupling piece 2 to be installed in the recess 20, and at the top of the front plate 10 a projecting piece 11 for supporting is installed protruding sideways in the horizontal direction, and abutting to a flange is generated by this projecting piece 11 so that a vessel, etc., D can be supported in the hung-down or inverted condition.
