The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy, and relates to a red coke transporting apparatus and a red coke transporting method suitable for quenching coke. According to the red coke transporting apparatus, tracks are arranged on one side of a coke oven and parallel to the direction of the coke oven, a coke quenching vehicle rotation platform is arranged along the track direction, the upperportion of the coke quenching vehicle rotation platform is provided with tracks with the same spacing and the same type, a pit is arranged on one end of the coke quenching vehicle track and below theground perpendicular to the track direction, a dry quenching coke tank is arranged in the pit, the coke tank is positioned on a carrying vehicle, one end of the pit is connected to the end of the cokequenching vehicle track through a coke guide chute, and the other end of the pit is provided with a winch and a winding shaft frame. According to the present invention, the red coke is spread on thecoke receiving groove of the coke quenching vehicle after the red coke is pushed out of the carbonization chamber, the coke quenching vehicle walks along the tracks to the quenching coke tank position, the flipping mechanism under the coke receiving groove pushes the coke receiving groove to flip toward the dry quenching coke tank direction, and the red coke directly flips into the coke guide chute, and then enters the dry quenching coke tank, such that the red coke is pushed out of the coke oven and is transported to the dry quenching coke tank; and the apparatus and the method are especiallysuitable for the red coke transporting of the horizontal heat recovery coke oven using coke dry quenching.
