PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crossing part switching facility for allowing an article transport vehicle to smoothly pass through a crossing part, without complicating a constitution. SOLUTION: The article transport vehicle 3 is provided with a pressing operation part 47 for freely pressing-operating a guiding rotary rail 42 in response to an entrance of the article transport vehicle 3 into the crossing part, and is provided with a linking means 48 for linking rotation of the guiding rotary rail 42 with rotation of a traveling rotary rail 44, and is constituted so as to be freely switchable to a first switching state of positioning the guiding rotary rail 42 in a guiding first position and positioning the traveling rotary rail 44 in a traveling first position and a second switching state of positioning the guiding rotary rail 42 in a guiding second position and positioning the traveling rotary rail 44 in a traveling second position by the pressing operation part 47 and the linking means 48.
