An automatically operating unloading system (12) for unloading an at least partially assembled vehicle (74) from an assembly-line overhead conveyor vehicle carrier (60) is provided. The vehicle carrier (60) comprises four hanger arms (62) for supporting the vehicle (74) from underneath, and ends (68) of the hanger arms (62) are pivotally articulated about a perpendicular axis (70) in a lockable manner. The automatically operating unloading system (12) includes, for each side of the flat conveying system (76), at least one rail (14) at a side of a flat conveying system (76), a front hanger arm manipulator (16) and a rear hanger arm manipulator (38) movably arrangeable on the at least one rail (14); further, a controllable drive unit for moving the manipulators (16, 38) along the rails (14), and an electronic control unit (72). Each hanger arm manipulator (16, 38) is equipped with at least one controllable actuator (24, 26, 28, 46, 48, 50), and the electronic control unit (72) is at least configured to control the actuators (24, 26, 28, 46, 48, 50) and to control the drive unit.(Figure 1)
