PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traveling carriage traveling while being guided by guide rails provided along a track, capable of steering wide steering wheels while suppressing reaction applied to a guide device from the guide rails to be low.SOLUTION: A traveling carriage 6 includes: steering wheels 12; a carriage main body supporting the steering wheels 12; a guide device 13 rotatably supported by the carriage main body, and turning in response to reaction from guide rails 3; a steering mechanism 14 applying steering power to the steering wheels 12 using the reaction received by the guide device 13; and an assist mechanism 15 applying auxiliary steering power assisting in the steering power by the steering mechanism 14 to the steering wheels 12. 【課題】軌道に沿って設けられたガイドレールに案内されて走行する走行台車において、案内装置がガイドレールから受ける反力を小さく抑えながら、幅広の操舵輪を操舵できるようにする。【解決手段】走行台車６は、操舵輪１２と、操舵輪１２を支持する台車本体と、台車本体に回動可能に支持されて、ガイドレール３からの反力を受けて旋回する案内装置１３と、案内装置１３が受けた反力を利用して操舵輪１２に操舵力を付与する操舵機構１４と、操舵機構１４による操舵力を補助する補助操舵力を操舵輪に付与するアシスト機構１５と、を備える。【選択図】図２
