To provide an article conveying device capable of conveying both of the first target articles and the second target articles, as well as capable of suppressing lowering of conveyance efficiency of an article conveying device caused when a conveyance number of first target articles is larger than a conveyance number of second target articles, and further capable of suppressing enlargement of a lifting unit.SOLUTION: In an article conveying device, an upper advancing/retracting drive part 31A is disposed above an upper support part 31S, and a lower advancing/retracting drive part 32A is disposed below a lower support part 32S. An intermediate support part 33S for supporting a second target article 42 is disposed between the upper support part 31S and the lower support part 32S in a vertical direction V. The intermediate support part 33S is connected to the upper support part 31S so as to be advanced/retracted integrally together, or is connected to the lower support part 32S so as to be advanced/retracted integrally together.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】第１対象物品と第２対象物品との双方を搬送可能としつつ、第１対象物品の搬送数が第２対象物品の搬送数よりも多い場合に物品搬送装置の搬送効率が低下をすることを抑制でき、且つ、昇降ユニットの大型化も抑制することができる物品搬送装置を実現する。【解決手段】上側出退駆動部３１Ａが上側支持部３１Ｓよりも上方に配置されると共に、下側出退駆動部３２Ａが下側支持部３２Ｓよりも下方に配置されている。上側支持部３１Ｓと下側支持部３２Ｓとの上下方向Ｖの間に、第２対象物品４２を支持する中間支持部３３Ｓが配置されている。中間支持部３３Ｓは、上側支持部３１Ｓと一体的に出退するように連結され、又は、下側支持部３２Ｓと一体的に出退するように連結されている。【選択図】図４
