at least one side wall; and
at least one intermediate space between the ceiling wall and the floor wall,
wherein the at least one intermediate space has at least one opening,
wherein the ceiling wall as well as the at least one intermediate space each have at least one holder or the cover plate connected with the ceiling wall as well as the at least one intermediate space each have at least one holder,
wherein a first holder of the at least one holder is configured to receive the at least one workpiece,
wherein a second holder of the at least one holder is configured to receive the at least one tool,
wherein the cover plate is connected with the ceiling wall of one of the transport systems of the transport device by a form-fit,
wherein the at least one transport system includes at least two handle tabs extending vertically above a top surface of the at least one transport system,
wherein the cover plate includes at least two handle tabs extending vertically above a top surface of the cover plate,
wherein each of the at least two handle tabs of the at least one transport system and the at least two handle tabs of the cover plate are configured to be gripped by a worker,
wherein the at least two handle tabs of the at least one transport system engage into the at least two handle tabs of the cover plate,
wherein relative lateral movement between the at least one transport system and the cover plate is restricted when the at least two handle tabs of the at least one transport system are engaged into the at least two handle tabs of the cover plate, and
