Abstract
According to embodiments, a cargo handling apparatus includes a first detecting unit, a target setting unit, a determination height position setting unit, a moving apparatus, a second detecting unit, and a controller unit. The target setting unit sets a cargo positioned in a highest position to a target, or if it is determined that the upper surface has no height difference, sets any one of the cargoes, forming a portion of the upper surface to the target. The determination height position setting unit sets a determination height position. The controller unit moves the target upward by driving the moving apparatus, and if it is determined that the target does not exceed the determination height position, determines that pull-out of the target is impossible, and stops an operation of the moving apparatus so as to stop a movement of the target.
