A comb tooth type transport mechanism includes a turntable, a rotating device disposed at the bottom of the turntable so as to drive the turntable, first comb teeth, a lifting platform, a lifting device and a positioning roller. The turntable is provided with an opening to receive the lifting platform, the lifting platform and the lifting device are disposed on the turntable, the lifting platform is lifted or lowered by the lifting device, therefore the car be jacked up and carried by carrier. The first comb teeth, which prevent the car parked on it from slipping, are fixed on the turntable and parallelly arranged at opposite sides of the lifting platform. The positioning roller is disposed on the turntable along a length direction of the first comb teeth and located at an end of the first comb teeth. The car will be turned around by the turntable for leaving easily.

An integral rotary transport mechanism includes a turntable, a loading board, a lifting platform, two vehicle centering devices, a rotating device and two positioning members. A central portion of the turntable is provided with a first groove, by narrowing and extending which a second groove is formed. The lifting platform is liftable and can be lowered to a bottom of the second groove to form an activity space between the lifting platform and the loading board. The rotating device is disposed at a bottom of the turntable driven to be rotated 180 degrees. The vehicle centering device, through which cars can be accurately adjusted to middle of the loading board placed in the first groove, is disposed on the turntable and located at opposite sides of the loading board. The positioning member is disposed on the turntable and located at the other opposite sides of the loading board.
