Le chariot de manutention comporte un plateau de forme générale rectangulaire présentant quatre faces latérales, et des roues fixées au plateau. Au moins une face latérale du plateau présente une gorge s'étendant jusqu'à une extrémité de cette face, le chariot comportant un coulisseau allongé mobile à coulissement dans la gorge et adapté pour s'étendre simultanément dans les gorges de deux chariots adjacents. The system consists of several trolleys, each having a rectangular platform (2) and wheels (6). At least one edge of the platform has a lengthwise or transverse groove (8) which can receive a sliding coupling element (12) for connecting adjoining trolleys in pairs, either in tandem or abreast. The sliding coupling elements can be rotated in the grooves as well as moved along them. Each coupling element has a projecting arm which can engage with a slot to lock the coupling element in the required position. Each groove can have, for example, three slots to allow a coupling element to be locked in different positions, i.e. engaged with a trolley in front, a trolley behind or separated from both.
