A coupling device of the type envisaged between a first vehicle (A) with at least two axes and a second vehicle (B) with at least two axes with the first vehicle (A) arranged to precede the second vehicle (B), in particular for the application to convoys of automatically guided vehicles, includes a hinge coupling section associated with the first vehicle (A) and a drawbar section associated with the second vehicle (B), connected to each other with the possibility of rotation through the relative distal sections. The drawbar section has an arc-shaped guide arranged horizontally in front of the second vehicle (B) to extend from the right side to the left side thereof, a slider sliding along the arc-shaped guide and a telescopic arm integral with one end of the slider and rotatably connected to the other end to the coupling section. The coupling device also advantageously include a steering assistance mechanism suitable for a redundancy of the steering members (S) of the second vehicle (B) by setting a steering angle which is a function of the position of the slider along the arc-shaped guide. The coupling device allows the automatic guide system to control the position and trajectories of the vehicles without any substantial exchange of forces through the device and enters into operation to allow the safe stop of the convoy when there are anomalies in the operation of the automatic guide system.
