摘要

The vehicle has a front crossing unit comprising a coupling frame (1), which is equipped with a bolting device for bolting the coupling frame with a coupling frame of the other vehicle. The coupling frame of the former vehicle is supported at a clutch in a swivelable manner between a pull out position and a coupling position. A drive lever (4) is attached at the coupling frame of the former vehicle to cause swiveling of the coupling frame from the pull-out position into the coupling position, during impacting of the lever with force. The bolting device is designed as a ratchet (5).
