To quickly handle an object to be handled, and improve positioning accuracy when unloading.

The handling device includes a planer insulating member 11, electrodes 12A and 12B provided inside the insulating member 11 and a voltage controller 13 for applying a voltage to the electrodes 12A and 12B, for using static electric force caused when the voltage is applied to the electrodes 12A and 12B by the voltage controller 13 to attract the object 17 to be handled placed below the insulating member 11. The insulating member 11 is flexible and has both ends supported by supporting devices 14A and 14B with its center part bending. The member 11 is also formed with uneven portions 15 on its bottom to have a rough surface on the bottom.
