System comprising a transport device for transporting a carrier for goods in transport, a carrier for goods in transport and a receiving apparatus

A system, comprising:

• a transport device including a transport vehicle which can be moved freely on a base area and a floating support handling device provided on said transport vehicle,
• a carrier for goods in transport configured to be received by said floating support handling device and that includes at least one first alignment element, and
• a receiving apparatus configured to receive said carrier for goods in transport and to be set up on the base area or arranged on a machine set up on the base area, wherein
• said floating support handling device is configured to hold said carrier for goods in transport in such a way that, when said carrier for goods in transport is inserted and/or exchanged on said receiving apparatus by said floating support handling device, said carrier for goods in transport is kept movable relative to said floating support handling device within a horizontal plane in a longitudinal and transverse direction, and
• said receiving apparatus includes at least one second alignment element which, when said carrier for goods in transport is inserted and/or exchanged, is configured to interact with the at least one first alignment element of said carrier for goods in transport before said carrier for goods in transport is received by said receiving apparatus and in such a manner that interaction of the first and second alignment elements aligns said carrier for goods in transport with said receiving apparatus by moving said carrier for goods in transport relative to said floating support handling device within said horizonal plane before said carrier for goods is placed on said receiving apparatus.
