Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store loads by disposing a plurality of independent rollers with specified inclination along the circumferential direction of a base, turning an endless rotor by a motor, and driving all roller bodies to form a conveying path with specified curved shape. SOLUTION: Independent driving rollers 11 are circumferentially disposed on a base 13 to form a conveying path inclined with specified curved inclination, and a container 3 can be conveyed in an inclined state. Since each driving roller 11 is independently manufactured, there is no need to manufacture a frame of special shape for supporting a plurality of rollers as in a conventional way so as to facilitate manufacture. In addition, the number of driving rollers can be increased/decreased according to the size of the container 3 so as to be able to provide an installation corresponding to the container 3, and the slip of the container 3 in the inclined direction can be relieved by forming a roller body 25 into tapered shape.
