The article conveyance apparatus includes a first upper side linear conveyance rail, a second lower side linear conveyance rail, a first delivery unit that is inverted while holding the carriers to deliver the carriers from a downstream end A of the first conveyance rail to an upstream end of the second conveyance rail. A second delivery unit that is inverted while holding the plurality of carriers, delivers the carriers from a downstream end of the second conveyance rail to an upstream end B of the first conveyance rail.
