Abstract
A transfer device includes a hook, a forward and backward movable device, a hook driver to move the hook, a forward and backward movement driver to move the forward and backward movable device forward or backward, and a drive controller configured or programmed to control the hook driver and the forward and backward movement driver. The drive controller is configured or programmed to include a hook position assessor to assess the hook position based on a position threshold, a hook controller to stop the hook when an overload on the hook driver has been detected, and a controller of the forward and backward movement driver configured or programmed to move the hook forward or backward when the hook position obtained when the hook controller stops the hook driver is greater than or equal to the position threshold.
