To provide a transfer device for a heavy object capable of transferring a heavy object in a light load.

This transfer device for a heavy object includes a relatively flat rigid base 10 having a bowl-shaped bottom and upper surfaces and a pad member 20 for a load, to be attached to the upper surface of the rigid base 10. A void is provided in the rigid base 10 to store a lubricating liquid, and one or more than two fine-diameter holes 15 are formed in the middle of the bowl-shaped bottom surface of the rigid base 10. Moreover, a finer-diameter passage is formed between the void 1 and one or a plurality of holes 15 respectively, and filler is filled in each of the passages for lubricating liquid elicitation by a capillary phenomenon.
