Abstract
A system for storing a carrying truck uncoupled from a self-propelled truck moving along a given passage. So that such uncoupled carrying truck may be stored at a storage area outside and angular relative to the passage, the system includes a direction change device disposed at a point of the passage where the carrying truck is uncoupled from the self-propelled truck, and a truck hitching device disposed in the storage area such as to orient towards that point of passage. The direction change device includes a rotary disc member and an elevating element for raising the carrying truck and orienting the same towards the storage area. The truck hitching device includes fore-and-aft movable elements for hitching and drawing the carrying truck which has been changed its direction by the direction change device, towards the storage area.
