1. A driverless automatically guided transport vehicle for transporting a load comprising:
a lifting apparatus which is configured to lift the load such that said load can be transported in the lifted state;
a retaining apparatus for securing the load on the transport vehicle, wherein the activation of the retaining apparatus is positively coupled to the lifting movement of the lifting apparatus; and
wherein the retaining apparatus has a locking fork which can be moved from a retracted parked position into a deployed locking position and which in the deployed position engages around a traverse, which is attached to the payload or to a separate payload carrier, at at least two opposite sides and thus secures said traverse in form-fitting fashion.
