1. A transport system for picking at least one of a product and a good, the transport system comprising:
an order-picking device comprising a rigid base frame and a transport and/or work platform; and
at least two individual vehicles each of which are configured to be couplable to the order-picking device and each of which comprise a drive device, a steering device, and a lifting device which is configured to raise and to lower a load-carrying device,
wherein,
the at least two individual vehicles, when in a decoupled state from the order-picking device, are each operatable completely independently of one another, and, when in a coupled state to the order-picking device, are coupled with the order-picking device so as to provide a driving and steering behavior of a rigid overall vehicle comprising the at least two individual vehicles and the order-picking device, and a lifting behavior of a complete lifting device comprising the lifting device of each of the at least two individual vehicles,
wherein,
the transport and/or work platform is configured so that an operator or driver of the transport system can walk on the transport and/or work platform and store and retrieve the at least one of the product and the good to be picked either manually or with technical assistance on a shelf, and
in the coupled state, each of the at least two individual vehicles and each respective lifting device thereof is controllable from the order-picking device.
