A forklift stows a cargo on a loading surface. The loading surface is an upper surface of a loading platform. The forklift includes an external sensor configured to detect a position of an object, and processing circuitry. The position of the object is represented by a point cloud that is a set of points. The processing circuitry is configured to extract points that represent the loading platform, extract, from the points that represent the loading platform, points that represent an edge of the loading platform, detect a straight line that represents the edge from the points representing the edge, extract points that represent an object mounted on the loading platform, and detect, as a stowage position on which the cargo will be stowed, a position that is separated from the mounted object by a prescribed distance in a direction in which the straight line extends.
