The transport carriage (1) for the accommodation of a needle board (2) comprises a console (21) that is preferably supported so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis (22). Clamping jaws (24, 25) are provided on the console (21), with the clamping jaws clamping the needle board (2)—preferably in a force-limited manner—between each other and thus holding said needle board in a frictionally engaged manner.
