To provide a multistory housing device appropriate for a small scale use by fitting running machines for supporting each housing container in a running loop, which forms a loop in the vertical direction, so as to be driven for circulation in a central driving loop and an end driving loop at a speed higher than that of the central loop.

Each corner forms a high-low speed switching position, and the connection from a low-speed attachment 6 to a high-speed attachment 7 or the reverse connection is performed so as to circulate running machines 5. At the time of running of the running machine 5 in the end driving loop 3 from upper to lower or from lower to upper, other running machines 5 are made to wait so as to prevent the interference with each other. When a user specifies an object 4 at the predetermined number, speed of all the objects 4 is switched at the central driving loop 2 and the end driving loop 3 along a running loop 1, while the interference of the objects 4 with each other in the end driving loop 3 is prevented. When the specified object 4 achieves the ejecting position P, running is stopped, and the user can house or eject the object 4.
