The shifting platform moveable in rolling direction on the operator side is provided in the exchanging position at the outer sides of the housings of the outer stands with outer rails extending toward the drive side, on the one hand, and with central rails extending in alignment with the middle stand transversely of the shifting platform in the direction of the operator side, on the other hand, wherein the central rails extend beyond the shifting platform, and wherein middle rails extending toward the operator side are provided for each outer stand.
