Abstract
A radiography apparatus includes: an irradiator that emits radiation; a carriage portion on which the irradiator is mounted and which is capable of traveling; steering casters which are provided in the carriage portion and are connected to a steering and whose steering angle is given by an operation of the steering; free casters which are provided in the carriage portion and are not connected to the steering and whose steering angle is changed subordinately according to a direction of force applied to the carriage portion; and a switching mechanism that selectively switches between a first grounded state in which the free casters are separated from a floor and the steering casters are grounded to the floor and a second grounded state in which the free casters are grounded to the floor and the steering casters are separated from the floor.
