PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a workpiece conveyance device and a workpiece conveyance method capable of avoiding manual supply of workpieces and stably conveying workpieces to a high place without using a lift belt conveyor with a bar.SOLUTION: A plurality of workpieces are aligned in series along a horizontal axis line by aligning means. The plurality of workpieces aligned by the aligning means are transferred in parallel to the horizontal axis line in the aligned state by transfer means. A lifting plate member of lifting means is elevated/lowered so as to elevate/lower the plurality of workpieces moved by the transfer means in the aligned state. The plurality of workpieces elevated by the lifting means are delivered to the outside of a workpiece conveyance device by delivery means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】人手によるワークの供給を回避でき、しかも、桟付きリフトベルトコンベアを用いることなく、安定して高所にワークを搬送することが可能なワーク搬送装置及びワーク搬送方法を提供する。【解決手段】整列手段にて、複数個のワークを水平軸線に沿って直列状に整列させる。移載手段にて、整列手段にて整列された複数個のワークをその整列されたまま前記水平軸線に対して平行に移載させる。昇降手段の昇降板部材を昇降させることによって、移載手段にて移動された複数個のワークを整列されたまま昇降させる。送り出し手段にて、昇降手段にて上昇してきた複数個のワークを装置外へ送り出す。【選択図】図１
