Le chariot (28) comprend une partie centrale (30) et au moins deux jambes (32) espacées l'une de l'autre dans la première direction transversale, chacune des deux jambes (32) correspondant à l'une des deux paires de barres guides (18, 20), chacune des deux jambes (32) comprenant au moins un jeu (34) de premiers galets comprenant au moins un premier galet (34.1, 34.2) qui roule sur la première des barres guides (18) de la paire correspondante de barres guides (18, 20) et qui tourne autour d'un premier axe de rotation (36.1, 36.2) fixe par rapport au chariot (28) et perpendiculaire à l'axe de translation (22). Chacune des deux jambes (32) est munie d'au moins un sabot roulant (40) qui comprend au moins un jeu (42) de seconds galets comprenant au moins un second galet (42.1, 42.2) qui roule sur la deuxième barre (20) de la paire correspondante de barres (18, 20) et qui tourne autour d'un second axe de rotation (44.1, 44.2) qui est fixe par rapport au sabot roulant (40) et perpendiculaire à l'axe de translation (22), le sabot roulant (40) de chacune des deux jambes (32) étant mobile par rapport au chariot (28) dans une direction de saillie perpendiculaire à l'axe de translation (22) en direction de la seconde barre guide (20) de la paire correspondante de barres guides (18, 20), entre une position rétractée et une position en saillie. La structure est en outre munie de moyens de fixation desserrables (48) servant à fixer le sabot roulant (40) de chacune des deux jambes (32) de façon amovible par rapport au chariot (28) dans n'importe quelle position intermédiaire entre la position rétractée et la position en saillie.
