Abstract
An article transport facility includes a connecting actuator device for moving an eject portion of an inactive gas supplying device relative to a support portion of a ceiling transport vehicle in order to change the positional relationship between the support portion and the eject portion between a connecting positional relationship and a separating positional relationship. The inactive gas supplying device is configured to eject the inactive gas from the eject portion with the connection between the eject portion and the container maintained after the positional relationship between the support portion and the eject portion is changed to the connecting positional relationship.
