ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a monorail transport apparatus for transport of golf equipment in golf links, comprising a transport vehicle body provided with a caster wheel rollable on a monorail, a driving vehicle body equipped with a prime mover and partly received in and pivotally connected to the front portion of the transport vehicle body so as to be swingable around the axis of a transverse shaft, a driving wheel and a driven wheel disposed on both sides of the transverse shaft, an endless driving belt entrained around the driving and driven wheels and pressed against the upper surface of the monorail, and an auxiliary wheel pivotally connected to the driving vehicle body so as to be swingable around the axis of the transverse shaft and pressed against the lower surface of the monorail, the arrangement being such that the transport apparatus travels while holding the monorail from above and below between said driving belt and the auxiliary wheel, thereby achieving increased hill climbing ability and increased traveling stability irrespective of the sinuousity of the monorail.
