Abstract

A transport facility includes a travel rail along a travel path, a transport vehicle, and a guide rail disposed along the travel path separately from the travel rail to guide the transport vehicle. The transport vehicle includes a vehicle body, a guided portion guidable by the guide rail, at least one travel wheel supported on the vehicle body to roll on an upper surface of the travel rail, and at least one rise restrictor supported on the vehicle body. The guide rail is disposed in at least one of an intersecting section or a curved section of the travel path without being disposed in a straight section of the travel path. The rise restrictor faces, from below, a guide rail lower surface of the guide rail in a section in which the guide rail is disposed and contacts the lower surface in response to a rise of the vehicle body.
