Kind Code:

Abstract:
A transfer device (100) capable of bringing a load (200) placed at a first placement position (300) into a second placement position by causing, after an extendable and retractable arm (110) is extended, a claw (102) to come into contact with the rear end of the load (200) and then retracting the arm (110), the claw (102) being provided to the front end of the arm (110). A detector (105) capable of detecting the rear end of the load (200) is provided to the arm (110). When bringing the load (200) into the second placement position (150), (a) after the arm (110) is extended by a predetermined distance (L1) at a first speed, the extension speed of the arm (110) is changed to a second speed lower than the first speed, then (b) after the extension speed of the arm (110) is changed to the second speed, the extension of the arm (110) is stopped on the basis of the result of detection of the rear end (L2) of the load (200) by the detector (105) and thus the claw (102) is positioned behind the rear end of the load.
