• a transport device that transports the second support member at the predetermined position,
• wherein the second support member has a rectangular mounting surface onto which the articles are to be mounted, and is formed in a box shape with an open upper surface,
• wherein the support mechanism supports the second support member in an inclined state such that a target corner portion that is one of a plurality of corner portions of the mounting surface is located lower than the other corner portions, and
