The moving mechanism is configured to move the support portion to a projected position and to a retracted position. The support portion includes a support member configured to support a container, a movable member configured to be moved along a lateral width direction by the moving mechanism, and a vertically moving mechanism configured to move the support member along the vertical direction with respect to the movable member. The article transport vehicle further includes one or more fall preventing members configured to prevent a lid of a supported container from falling, and a movement coupling mechanism configured to move the one or more fall preventing members when the support member is moved.
