PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyor facility capable of eliminating loss of time caused by transferring articles by stopping the facility when branching and merging tem. SOLUTION: When a pallet taken out of a pallet warehouse is put on a carry-in conveyor 13, the carry-in conveyor 13 feeds the pallet onto a circulation type conveyor side 11. In synchronization with it, a corresponding conveyance direction switching device 12 is switched from 'passing mode' to 'merging mode'. Consequently, the pallet is transferred from the carry-in conveyor 13 to the circulation type conveyor 11 without stopping. When the pallet comes to a position of the conveyance direction switching device 12 connected with the carry-in conveyor 15, the conveyance direction switching device 12 is switched from 'passing mode' to 'branching mode'. As a result, the pallet is transferred on the carry-in conveyor 15 by branching from the circulation type conveyor 11 and is transported to a picking work place 17 without stopping.
