PURPOSE: To unload goods to be carried by a ceiling transfer without reverse turn by receiving goods to be carried whose part to be supported is supported and carried to a carrying member in an inserted state by a support member moved at higher speed than that of the carrying member.

CONSTITUTION: When a package P is carried by a conveyer 2 and reaches the horizontal moving section 6b of an unloading device 1, a motor M is driven and a support member 6 staying on a stand by position 6A is moved with higher speed than the carrying speed of the package P in a direction equal to the carrying direction of the package P in an upper horizontal moving section 6b after ascending in a section 6a while maintaining a horizontal posture. When the package P is passed from backward, the package P supported by a hanger 5 is extracted by pegs 11, 12 of the support member 6 and born. Then, the support member 6 descends in a section 6c while keeping its horizontal posture via a left upper corner and reaches a package receiving/delivering position 6C and the package is transferred to a tray T by the operation of a pusher 36.
