The present invention relates to a transport device (2) for overcoming a step-like obstacle (1), wherein the transport device (2) is movable in a traveling position and has a support structure (3) for supporting a load (4) to be transported. The task of the transport device (2) according to the invention is to overcome the difference in height of the step-like obstacle (1) by means of a leverage effect, whereby the transport device (2) should be usable on short stair steps. This task is accomplished in that via a tilting movement of the support structure (3) towards the step-like obstacle (1) a support element (10) of the transport device (2) can be set down on an upper surface (1a) of the step-like obstacle (1) and the support structure (3) can be tilted over the support element (10) set down in this way, and in that the transport device (2) has a connecting element (11), and in that the transport device (2) has a guide element (12) connected to the support structure (3), and in that the connecting element (11) is guided by the guide element (12), and in that the support element (10) is connected to the connecting element (11) in an articulated manner, and in that the connecting element (11) can be pivoted from a first into a second position relative to the support element (10) and brought from a first into a second position relative to the guide element (12), while the support structure (3) is supported against the upper surface (1a) of the step-like obstacle (1) via the support element (10).
