Abstract: A carriage is described, in particular for transporting medical devices in hospitals, comprising a carrier (2) for bearing a load to be transported, at least three, preferably four casters (5) arranged in a roller plane having caster swivels (6), on which the carrier (2) rests, at least two of the caster swivels (6) being adapted for pivoting around a geometric rotational axis (7) which runs perpendicular to the roller plane, and a fixing mechanism (15), by which the carriage (1) can be secured against rolling away. According to the present invention, the fixing mechanism (15) has locking devices (17) coupled to an actuating element (16), by which the at least two of the rotatable caster swivels (6) are lockable, by actuating the actuating element (16), in different rotational angle positions in such a manner that the casters (5) fastened thereto are oriented differently.
