6. The transfer system according to claim 1 , further comprising a computing unit, which is in signalling connection with the item orientation sensing device and is intended for receiving items orientation information characteristic for the orientation of the item from the item orientation sensing device.

7. The transfer system according to claim 6 , wherein the computing unit is in signalling connection with the transporting carriage for aligning the transporting carriage in dependence on the items orientation information.

8. The transfer system according to claim 1 , further comprising a transfer station for axial alignment of the item transferred from the transfer assembly to the transporting carriage.

9. The transfer system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one protective element at least partially delimiting the transfer area.

10. An overall installation, comprising:

at least one transfer system for transferring an item, the at least one transfer system comprising a transfer assembly for transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area, the at least one transfer system further comprising a transporting carriage for receiving the item from the transfer assembly into the transfer area, the at least one transfer system further comprising a transporting carriage load-relieving device, which is arranged in the transfer area and is configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device for raising the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transfer area comprises a support structure, the raising device being movable such that the raising device moves relative to the support structure, the transporting carriage comprising a wheel steering unit, the raising device being configured to lift the transporting carriage such that the wheel steering unit is located at a spaced location from the support structure when the raising device is in a raised position; and

a corrugator plant.

11. An item transfer method for transferring an item, the method comprising the steps of:

transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area from a transfer assembly; and

receiving the item transported by the transfer assembly in the transfer area by the transporting carriage, wherein a transporting carriage load-relieving device is arranged in the transfer area, the transporting carriage load-relieving device being configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device for raising the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transfer area comprises a support structure, the raising device being movable such that the raising device moves relative to the support structure, the transporting carriage comprising a wheel steering unit, the raising device being configured to lift the transporting carriage such that the wheel steering unit is located at a spaced location from the support structure when the raising device is in a raised position.

12. The item transfer method according to claim 11 , wherein the item is a material roll.

13. The overall installation according to claim 10 , wherein the item is a material roll.

14. The transfer system according to claim 1 , wherein the transfer area comprises a support structure, the raising device being movable such that the raising device moves relative to the support structure, the transporting carriage comprising a wheel steering unit, the raising device being configured to lift the transporting carriage such that the wheel steering unit is located at a spaced location from the support structure when the raising device is in a raised position.

15. A transfer system for transferring an item, the transfer system comprising:

a transfer assembly for transferring an item to a transporting carriage in a transfer area; and

a transporting carriage for receiving the item from the transfer assembly in the transfer area;

a support structure;

a transporting carriage load-relieving device, which is arranged in the transfer area and is configured to relieve the transporting carriage upon receiving the item to be transferred, wherein the transporting carriage load-relieving device comprises a raising device configured to raise each and every portion of the transporting carriage, relative to the support structure, to a spaced location from the support structure upon receiving the item to be transferred, the transport carriage being in contact with the support structure when the raising device is in a non-raised position.

16. The transfer system according to claim 15 , wherein the support structure comprises a recess, at least a portion of the raising device is arranged in the recess.
