how to move many objects as a whole

As the question said, I want to move many objects (including conveyors, AGV and so on) as a whole through the Z axis. Is there any way such as make them together as a block like AutoCAD

If you want to do this, perhaps you should put your objects in a visual plane as a container and move this plane.
EDIT: If you move objects of modules conveyors, paths from AGV and so on, there is a possibility that connections get lost. If you know that you will move objects later, place them right away on a visual plane object. If your object location values don’t matter and you need only a new level deeper or higher to your current working grid, you can set a different height for the grid. So you don’t move your objects, you move your grid on which you can place objects at another level.

Just select them all (using a group or shift-click and drag on the background to draw a lasso around the objects you want) - then click on one of them and use the manipulators as you would on one object.
