The utility model solves the change of the
hydraulic cylinder relative to reciprocating drive. A drive device (2) for driving a grate segment (2) of a grate-type incinerator (1A) is provided with: a cylinder (4) which is disposed on a
steel frame (7) provided outside the incinerator (1A) and which reciprocates back and forth in a
linear operation direction (MD) facing the inside of the incinerator (1A); a rod (5) that is connected to the front end (4A) side in the operation direction (MD) with respect to the cylinder and that extends into the incinerator (1A) along the operation direction (MD); a beam (6) that is connected to the front end (5A) side in the operation direction (MD) with respect to the rod (5), extends in the operation direction (MD), and supports the grate segments (2) from the lower side; a support roller (8) disposed on the lower side of the beam (6) and supporting the beam (6) from below; and a support structure that supports the cylinder, the rod, or the beam such that the cylinder, the rod, or the beam linearly operates in the operation direction during the operation of the cylinder.
