ABSTRACT:
A vehicle transfer system for use in a vehicle assembly line comprises a first conveyor which transfers a vehicle while supporting the vehicle on its chassis with the tires being floated, and a second conveyor which transfers the vehicle body while supporting the vehicle on its tires. A ride-over table is disposed between the first and second conveyors so that the tires of the vehicle are caused to ride over the ride-over table and the chassis is lifted away from the vehicle supporting table of the first conveyor. A movable receiving table is disposed on the receiving side of the second conveyor to be movable back and forth in parallel to the second conveyor and is moved forward in synchronization with the first conveyor. The movable receiving table is further movable between a raised position in which it lifts the vehicle riding over the ride-over table before the vehicle reaches the delivery side end of the ride-over table and a lowered position in which it lowers the vehicle passing over the ride-over table onto the second conveyor.
