A battery B supplying a power source to the overhead carrier 2 is mounted on the upper portion of the handling device 21. A charging coupler 25 is fitted to the side portion of the handling device 21. A power source coupler 28 is fitted to a ground station ST conducting the transfer work of a load W between the overhead carrier 2 and the same. When the handling device 21 is made to move down to the ground station ST by the overhead carrier 2, respective couplers 25, 28 are connected to each other.
