Abstract
A transfer unit for the transfer of a load carrier from a first vehicle to a second vehicle and vice versa, or from a first vehicle to a conveyor and vice versa, is disclosed. The transfer unit includes a first entrance that allows the entry of a first vehicle, and the transfer unit opposite the first entrance includes either a second entrance, which permits the entry of a second vehicle, or is connected to the conveyor. The transfer unit may include at least one parking and receiving area for the load carrier, on which the first vehicle can park and receive the load carrier. A centering device for centering a load carrier may be arranged in the transfer unit, so that centering takes place when the load carrier is transferred from the second vehicle to the first vehicle or from the conveyor to the first vehicle.
