Abstract
A work transport system having an overhead travelling carriage that runs along a rail arranged near the ceiling, arranged with a storage rack member upon which work may be loaded, between the floor and the rail. As the storage rack member upon which work may be loaded is arranged between the floor and the rail, the space of the processing station and floor may be decreased and the transfer time of the work by the overhead travelling carriage may be reduced.
