To provide a pallet type carrying conveyor capable of carrying works with a minimum installation area and without using a complicated mechanism requiring lubrication.
This carrying conveyor A guides and carries a pallet 5 with casters, on which the works are placed, by a carrying guide 4 laid down in a carrying route. The carrying route is formed in such a loop type that both ends of the linear carrying route 2 are connected to a semi-circular carrying route 3. A disk 31 turned by a drive mechanism is disposed in the semi-circular carrying route, and the pallet riding on the disk is directionally changed by the turning of the disk. Thus, since the interval of the linear carrying route is reduced by such an amount that the pallet can be directionally changed abruptly at both ends of the carrying route, the carrying conveyor can be reduced in size.
