A traveling vehicle system () is configured such that, in a shared area (B), a first detectable part (A,B) is disposed at a position detectable by a first detector (A,B) and a second detectable part (A,B) is disposed at a position undetectable by the first detector (A,B) when a first traveling vehicle (A) is located in a first position (P), and the second detectable part (A,B) is disposed at a position detectable by a second detector (A,B) and the first detectable part (A,B) is disposed at a position undetectable by the second detector (A,B) when a second traveling vehicle (B) is located in a second position (P).

Traveling vehicle system

A transport system includes a transport device to transport an article, a cable unit, one end of which is connected to the transport device, the other end of which is fixed to ground side, the cable unit configured to move in accordance with movement of the transport device, and a placement section capable of placing the cable unit. The placement section has a base, and a first damping member provided on the base and having damping properties higher than that of the base. The first damping member does not support the cable unit thereon.

Transport system

A stocker includes a crane to travel on a travel route, a maintenance area on an extension of the travel route, a controller to cause the crane to travel toward the maintenance area, a first sensor to detect that the crane is positioned at an entry position, and a second sensor to detect that the crane has arrived at a stop position. The controller is configured or programmed to control the crane to decelerate in accordance with a detection result of the first sensor and control the crane to stop in accordance with a detection result of the second sensor.

Stocker

A damping device includes a damper provided to an outer end of a stacker crane in a traveling direction. The damper includes: a rod member extending along the traveling direction; a first biasing member configured to bias the rod member outward in the traveling direction; and a movement restriction mechanism configured to allow inward movement of the rod member in the traveling direction and restrict outward movement of the rod member in the traveling direction when the rod member has moved inward in the traveling direction.
