An element arranging apparatus includes a supply portion a feed portion, a first holding portion, and a second holding portion. The supply portion includes a first lane and a second lane. First CVT elements and second CVT elements are respectively arranged in the first lane and the second lane in a width direction of the CVT elements. A thickness of the first CVT elements is different from that of the second CVT elements. The feed portion simultaneously feeds one of the first CVT elements and one of the second CVT elements. The CVT elements fed by the feed portion and arranged in a thickness direction of the CVT elements constitute a CVT element set. The first holding portion holds and delivers the CVT element set. The second holding portion sequentially stacks the delivered CVT element sets in the thickness direction, and hold the stacked CVT element sets.
