Abstract: An automotive body transfer method and a transfer system is operable to transfer a vehicle body between a transfer mechanism and a stationary assembly station in an automobile production process. In the method and system hereof, one longitudinal half of each of front and rear pairs of left and right jack-up brackets, formed in lower parts of left and right side sills of the body, is supported by the transfer mechanism, and the other longitudinal half of each of the jack-up brackets is supported by the stationary assembly station, thereby enabling the shape and structure of the transfer mechanism and the stationary assembly station to be simplified.

Abstract: An automotive body transfer method and a transfer system are provided in which, when carrying out handing over of a body (B) between transfer means (5, 6) and transferred-to means (3) in an automobile production process, one longitudinal half (Ja) of each of front and rear pairs of left and right jack-up brackets (J, J; J, J) formed in lower parts of left and right side sills (Bs, Bs) of the body (B) is supported by the transfer means (5, 6), and the other longitudinal half (Jb) of each of the jack-up brackets (J, J; J, J) is supported by the transferred-to means (3), thereby enabling the shape and structure of the transfer means and the transferred-to means to be simplified.
