Abstract
A vehicle transfer apparatus (1), which transfers a vehicle body (M) in an up-and-down direction, is composed of a pair of stanchions (2), a lift-unit (3), a tire supporter (6) (7), a lift-unit driver (4), and a tire supporter driver (53). In this apparatus (1), a lift-unit (3) is provided to respective stanchions (2), which are disposed on both sides of the vehicle body (M), and is allowed to slide in an up-and-down direction along the stanchion (2) in compliance with the operation by the lift-unit driver (4). In this apparatus (1), the tire supporter (6), which supports the tire (T) in the condition that the lower part of the tire (T) is exposed under the tire supporter (6) is provided to each lift-unit (3), is adapted to control a linear motion between a tire support position and a passing position by the tire supporter driver (4).
