PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a loading table for air levitation type belt conveyor which can ensure the floating amount of a conveyor belt even at a position for inputting an object to be carried and suppress leakage of air for levitating the conveyor belt by minimizing the distance from the conveyor trough of the conveyor belt at the inputting position or in the vicinity thereof. SOLUTION: A loading table 5, which is provided with both the arc-shaped upper and lower surfaces 5a, 5b which meet the inner wall of an inner pipe (conveyor trough) 1b in an air levitation type belt conveyor 1, and an air chamber 5c formed between both the upper and lower surfaces 5a, 5b, is inserted between the inner pipe 1b and a conveyor belt 4 so as to move freely. An intake hole 5d is formed in the inner wall material of the loading table 5, the loading table 5 is supported by means of lowering from a delivery machine, and one end of an air supply pipe 7a formed extending from the delivery machine side is connected with the air chamber 5c.
