A coke quenching plant comprises vertical quenching chambers arranged in a row and each having a coke-charging means installed in the upper part thereof, hoisting shafts, each of which is located opposite a corresponding quenching chamber, and lifts. Each of the lifts is provided with a carriage transporting a body for carrying coke upwards from the hoisting shaft to the coke-charging means, and downwards. Also provided in the plant is a trestle installed along the quenching chambers on the level of the lifts coming out from the hoisting shafts, and a means for transferring the carriage of the lift in horizontal plane along the trestle and perpendicularly thereto.
