1. A transport carriage for transport of a patient support and/or an operating table column of an operating table, comprising: a chassis which is connectable with the patient support and/or with the operating table column of the operating table, and which comprises a first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam arranged at a distance thereto, wherein the first and second longitudinal beams form a fork-shaped opening, and wherein at least one castor which is pivotable about a swiveling axis is arranged at the longitudinal beams forming the fork-shaped opening, wherein the transport carriage comprises at least one delimiting unit for delimiting the swiveling movement of at least one of the castors about its swiveling axis, wherein the delimiting unit comprises a first engaging element which, via contact of the first engaging element with an operating table column arranged in the fork-shaped opening and standing on the same plane on which the castors are supported, moves a contact element of the delimiting unit from a release position in which the delimiting unit does not delimit the swiveling movement of the castor to a delimiting position in which the delimiting unit does delimit the swiveling movement of the castor, and wherein the delimiting unit comprises a second engaging element which, via contact of the second engaging element with the operating table column arranged in the fork-shaped opening and at a distance from the plane on which the castors are supported, allows for a change of position of the first engaging element from the delimiting position to the release position.
