A micro computer gives a position information so that the crane may move to a target rack A, and enables the loader 16 to go straight to the rack A. When an accident occures at a rack B situated on the way to the rack A to which the crane is travelling, the micro computer processes a position confirming program, and controls the crane so that it can return to a home position Hp - Z1. signal is produced every time it returns to a row and to a column.
