PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suspensory conveyance facility capable of changing a supporting position of supporting tools at right and left with a common change means. SOLUTION: A supporting part 30 for a conveyed article is provided on a moving body 9 movable along a fixed path 4. The supporting tools 50 for supporting the conveyed article from a lower part are provided on a lower part of the supporting part 30 at the right and left so that the supporting position is freely changeable. The change means 70 positioned between the supporting tools 50 at the right and left is provided in the fixed path 4 so as to change the supporting position by the supporting tool 50. The moving body 9 is made to travel and the empty supporting part 30 is stopped in a position confronting the change means 70. The change means 70 is actuated and thereby the supporting position by the supporting tool 50 can be changed. Therefore, plural kinds of the conveyed articles can be stably supported. The structure and operation can be simplified by the common change means 70. The supporting position of the supporting tools 50 at the right and left can be rapidly and surely changed.
