ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an automatic guided vehicle for automatically conveying parts, half-finished products and products in a factory or a warehouse. The automatic guided vehicle is provided with a horizontally turnable loading table above a travelling truck, and constructed so that a pair of right and left driving wheels of the travelling truck are rotated reversely to each other so that the travelling truck whirls to steer and a rotating force of a motor for rotating one driving wheel is transmitted to the loading table to thereby turn the loading table reversely relative to the whirling direction of the travelling truck by an equal amount of whirling of the travelling truck, whereby even when the travelling truck whirls, the loading table does not change its orientation with respect to a floor or stations. Accordingly, when the station is located sidewise of a travelling way, or when the same is located at the end of a branch extending perpendicularly to the travelling way, there is no need of whirling the automatic guided vehicle for loading on or unloading from the goods to be conveyed.
