At least either one of the pair of the side arms is movable in a left-and-right direction orthogonal to a stretching-and-retracting direction of the side arm. The side arm that is movable in the left-and-right direction includes a base member that is movable in the left-and-right direction. The base member of the side arm includes a front guide leg-member and a rear guide leg-member that are provided to respective ends in the stretching-and-retracting direction of the base member on the lower side thereof. The lower conveyor is provided below a base body member between the front guide leg-member and the rear guide leg-member.
