Abstract

The present invention is a vehicle body conveying apparatus in which a vehicle body (20) conveyed by a shuttle conveyor (32) is then conveyed in the order of an inclining belt conveyor (1) and a slat conveyor (21). A miniconveyor (26) is disposed between the inclining belt conveyor (1) and the slat conveyor (21) in such a relation that a rear end of the miniconveyor (26) overlaps a delivery side of the inclining belt conveyor (1), and the front end overlaps a receiving side of the slat conveyor (21) so as to ensure smooth transfer of the vehicle body (20) between them. Further, the inclining belt conveyor (1) is inclined by an elevating mechanism (8) to separate the vehicle body (20) from the shuttle conveyor (32).
