My guess....


Explanation:
although I cannot help you with the German, I would understand this to be patentese for "any sort of wheels, tracks, hovercraft, stilts or anything else we haven't thought of yet that makes contact with the ground and helps to transport this holder assembly." OK, the hovercraft doesn't make contact, but that is the idea. This is to differentiate it from, say, a strap or handle to pick the whole thing up with and move it manually.

How I understand it.
