Device for transporting piece goods and containers

A transport carrier (1) for transport of transport goods, comprising:

• a transport carrier structure for carrying the transport goods (2, 3, 5) on a horizontal plane (14) of the transport carrier, having a top side (11), which defines the plane of the transport carrier, and a bottom side (12);
• and
• a retaining structure (4) arranged on the top side of the transport carrier structure for restricting or preventing a horizontal movement of transport goods supported on the transport carrier structure with respect to the plane of the transport carrier;
• wherein the retaining structure has means (41, 42, 43, 44, 45a, 45b, 46) which interact with bearing elements (22, 31) of the aforementioned transport goods standing on the transport carrier structure and thus cause a reversible fixation of the transport goods along at least one vector parallel to the plane of the transport carrier, such that a force exceeding a certain threshold level must be expended parallel to the plane of the transport carrier to overcome said fixation.
