Abstract
A method and device for uncoupling a self-propelled truck from a carring truck, wherein an uncoupling point defined on a path is detected by a sensor so as to temporarily stop a motor of the self-propelled truck, thereby provisionally stopping the two trucks at the uncoupling point, then another motor is driven to cause disengagement in an engagement element, and thereafter only the self-propelled truck is again moved, while maintaining such disengagement, so as to complete the uncoupling of the carrying truck from the self-propelled truck.
