On a track for electromagnetically levitated vehicles, side guide rails are positioned on and secured to a beam-like support member forming the track by an apparatus made up of a transportation frame extending in the long direction of the support member and by installation truss frames located on and extending transversely of the transportation frame. Side guide rail installation arms are pivotally mounted on the installation truss frames. With the arms in an outward position the guide rails can be placed on and held by the arms. By pivoting the arms inwardly the side guide rails can be located along the outer sides of the support member. By raising the installation truss frame, the guide rails can be located relative to stators mounted on the underside of the support member. In addition, the final position of the guide rails can be established by moving the installation truss frames transversely of the transportation frame and relative to a plate strip on the upper surface of the support members.
