PURPOSE: To make it possible to maintain an always normal electrical contact state by constituting a lifting hanger for electrical transportation in such a manner that flexible conductive members are mounted at its hanger receiving parts and that hangers are energized through these conductive members. CONSTITUTION: This lifting hanger 1 for electrical transportation of an automatic static plating device is composed of a sliding part 1a to be hooked to a bus connected to the power source of the plating device and the hanger receiving parts 1b to detain the hangers lifting works to be plated. The flexible conductive members 10 are mounted at these hanger receiving parts 1b and the hangers are energized through the flexible conductive members 10. The flexible conductive members 10 are composed of shunt parts 10a formed by using stranded wires of flexible mild copper (a strand diameter of about 0.08 to 0.45mm) and thermal parts 10b disposed at both ends thereof and are placed along the top of the hanger receiving parts 1b. The conductive members are freely attachably and detachably screwed at the flanks of hanger receiving parts 1b by means of mounting screws 12. As a result, the always normal electrical contact is maintained in spite of the presence of some deviation in the detaining positions of the hangers and some inclination in the detaining state thereof.
