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.
