PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the operating performance of an article handling device within a container, and miniaturize the device. SOLUTION: A robot 5 for handling article within a container is so constituted as to be freely chargeable in direction by means of rotation around a vertical shaft center P1, and the plural number of article handling positions B are disposed so as to be laid along the circumferential direction around the vertical shaft center P1 while a space between adjacent items is being kept narrower than a space between adjacent in the plural number of article handling positions A. And it is so constituted that each container 1 set in respective container setting positions A in a forward facing attitude, is moved ahead while being accompanied with change in direction into a state that the container 1 is brought face-to-face with the robot 5, and the container 5 is continuously moved straight ahead to the robot 5 so as to let the container arrive at the article handling position B. |
