Abstract (en)

An obstacle (15) in the vicinity of a line extending from a side face of the container is detected by a first infrared-beam sensor (11), and an obstacle located farther towards the outside than the line extending from the side face of the container is detected by a second infrared-beam sensor (12). Accordingly, when lowering the container, which is gripped by a load block (45), it is possible to prevent the lower end of the container from colliding with the obstacle (15), and in addition, it is possible to detect an obstacle substantially directly underneath, even when the load block (45) and so on is suspended at an angle by wires.
