Abstract

An overhead transport vehicle includes a transfer section to transfer an article to and from a load port included in equipment, sensors to emit detection waves downwardly to detect presence or absence of an obstacle, the sensors having different detection ranges from each other, and a controller configured or programmed to control the overhead transport vehicle. The transfer section includes a gripping section, a rotating section, and a lifting section. The controller, during transferring of the article by the transfer section, is configured or programmed to control the rotating section in accordance with a direction of accessing onto the load port such that the article is transferred in a specified direction and does not perform detection processing of one or more of the sensors having the detection ranges in which the equipment is included.
