Abstract: The object carrier for carrying objects is provided, wherein the engaging portions of the shelf member are engaged with the engaged portions of the frame member from top to bottom in the vertical direction to constitute the engagement state between the shelf member and the frame member, the connection line between the engaged portions constitutes an engagement direction, and the shelf member moves in an engagement releasing direction perpendicular to the engagement direction on a horizontal plane to release the engagement state with the frame member. The lift for removing objects from the object carrier is provided, wherein the bearing portion moves in the vertical direction through the lifting portion and bears the shelf member on which the object is placed under the object carrier, and the bearing portion moves in the horizontal direction through the sliding portion, so as to remove the shelf member and the object altogether.

Abstract: An article storage facility is disclosed which has a relatively high article storage efficiency and which can reduce the possibility of degradation, etc., of articles that may occur within a storage structure. The article storage facility includes: a storage structure; a first support station provided inside the storage structure and configured to support a storage container; a second support station configured to support a transporting container; and an article transfer device. A transporting container is a container that is used to transport articles outside the storage structure whereas a storage container is a container that is used to transport and store articles inside the storage structure, and is configured to hold a plurality of articles with greater holding efficiency than a transporting container. The article transfer device is configured to transfer articles, one or more articles at a time, between a storage container placed on the first support station and a transporting container placed on the second support station.

Abstract: A transport vehicle includes a first sensor that detects a relative distance in a vertical direction between a holder and at least one handle contactlessly. A controller determines, based on a detection result from the first sensor, whether the relative distance is at a first set value as a reference for the holder to hold or release the at least one handle and whether the relative distance is at a second set value corresponding to a descending limit for the holder with respect to the at least one handle.
