Abstract
A shovel includes a lower-traveling structure; an upper turning structure which is turnably mounted to the lower traveling structure; and a processing circuitry provided in the upper turning structure, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, upon receipt of a predetermined command from a predetermined external device, cause the lower-traveling structure to travel either toward a bed of a trailer or from the bed to a rear area of the trailer. A support device configured to support a shovel in loading or unloading a trailer, the support device includes a transmitter configured to transmit, to the shovel, a command for an automatic traveling of the shovel in response to a user's operation so that a lower-traveling structure of the shovel travels from a rear of the trailer to an upper surface of the trailer, or travels from the upper surface of the trailer to the rear of the trailer.
