To provide a transport vehicle having excellent transport efficiency when transporting an article while rotating around a circular route having at least a partial arc-shaped section while maintaining an orientation of a vehicle body.SOLUTION: A transport vehicle (1) includes a vehicle body (2), a drive unit (3), and a coupling device (4) that couples the vehicle body (2) and the drive unit (3). The drive unit (3) includes wheels, a travel drive source that drives and rotates the wheels, and a steering device that turns the wheels around a steering axis (Xs). The coupling device (4) includes a mounting portion (41) that is attached to the vehicle body (2), and an adjustment mechanism that can change a reference direction (R) around the steering axis (Xs) with respect to a front-rear direction (L) of the vehicle body (2) by changing a mounting attitude of the mounting portion (41) relative to the vehicle body (2).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
【課題】少なくとも一部に円弧状区間を有する周回経路を車体の向きを維持したまま周回しつつ物品を搬送する場合の搬送効率に優れた搬送車を提供する。【解決手段】搬送車(1)は、車体(2)と、駆動ユニット(3)と、車体(2)と駆動ユニット(3)とを連結する連結装置(4)とを備える。駆動ユニット(3)は、車輪と、車輪を回転駆動する走行駆動源と、車輪を操舵軸心(Xs)回りに旋回させる操舵装置とを備える。連結装置(4)は、車体(2)に取り付けられる取付部(41)と、車体(2)に対する取付部(41)の取付姿勢を変更することにより車体(2)の前後方向(L)に対して基準方向(R)を操舵軸心(Xs)回りに変更可能な調整機構とを備える。【選択図】図6
