Provided is a mobile radiation generation apparatus which reliably prevents the unsteady motion of a carriage unit with a simple structure and facilitates the fine adjustment of the position of a radiation emitting unit. Each of a front wheel and a rear wheel of a carriage unit is a caster that swivels about a swivel axis extending in a vertical direction. A support that vertically stands on the carriage unit supports a base end of an arm unit having a free end to which an X-ray emitting unit is attached. The arm unit rotates about a rotation axis parallel to the swivel axis with respect to the carriage unit. The carriage unit includes a front pedal that is provided closer to the front wheel than the support and is used to lock both the rotation and swivel of the caster at the same time.
