Abstract
A transport device that allows transport containers varying in shape or size to be transported without changing a device configuration, and can prevent works in a transport container from popping out of the transport container with a simple device configuration. An overhead carriage includes a chucking device that holds a magazine accommodating works. The overhead carriage transports the magazine held by the chucking device. The chucking device includes a holding unit that holds the magazine and a sensor that detects the magazine held by the holding unit. The holding unit is controlled based on the detection of the sensor to hold the magazine so that the holding unit prevents works stored in the magazine from popping out.
