PURPOSE: An article handling system is provided to miniaturize a body by excluding spaces for travel, to increase the amount of storage, and to lower the storage level of a fixed shelf and a rotary shelf. CONSTITUTION: An article handling system comprises a rotary shelf(21) rotating on a rotary shelf axis, and a plurality of load receiving sections(32) disposed on a rotary circular path(23) with centering on the rotary shelf axis. A transfer operating section(81) of a transfer device(51) disposed laterally outside the rotary shelf rotates on a transfer device axis(52) and operates on a transfer circular path(53) tangentially superposed on the rotary circular path, and a fixed shelf(101) is installed on the transfer circular path. The transfer device unnecessitates an occupied space for travel, and the whole system including the rotary shelf and fixed shelf are made compact in size. The transfer device having no traveling mechanism allows the transfer operating section to be lowered almost to the floor. The storage level of the rotary shelf and the fixed shelf is allowed to be lowered to further increase the amount of storage.
