Disclosed is a device for conveying a workpiece, particularly a vehicle body (102), which is disposed on a workpiece fixing device (104), from a first position on a first conveying level (106) to a second position on a second conveying level (112). Said conveying device comprises a conveying carriage (138) which is movable between a first position that is assigned to the first position of the workpiece (102) to a second position that is assigned to the second position of the workpiece (102), and vice versa. The aim of the invention is to create a conveying device that uses a comparatively short cycle time for conveying a workpiece (102) from the first conveying level (106) to the second conveying level (112). Said aim is achieved by providing the inventive conveying carriage (138) with a holding device (168) comprising at least one holding element (182) that is movable relative to the conveying carriage (138) from an operating position in which the holding element (182) can grip the workpiece fixing device (104) into a neutral position in which the holding element (182) can be moved past the workpiece fixing device (104), and vice versa.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transport conçu pour transporter une pièce, notamment une carrosserie de véhicule (102), montée sur un support de pièce (104) d'une première position, à un premier niveau de transport (106), jusqu'à une seconde position, à un second niveau de transport (112). Ce dispositif comprend un chariot de transport (138) qui peut se déplacer d'un premier point associé à la première position de la pièce (102) jusqu'à un second point associé à la seconde position de la pièce (102) et du second point au premier point. L'objectif de la présente invention est de mettre au point un tel dispositif de transport qui implique un temps de cycle comparativement court pour le processus de transport d'une pièce (102) du premier niveau de transport (106) au second niveau de transport (112). A cette fin, le chariot de transport (138) comprend un système de maintien (168) présentant au moins un élément de maintien (182) qui peut se déplacer par rapport au chariot de transport (138) d'une position de travail, dans laquelle l'élément de maintien (182) est appliqué sur le support de pièce (104), jusqu'à une position de repos, dans laquelle l'élément de maintien (182) ne fait que passer sur le support de pièce (104), et de la position de repos à la position de travail.
