  • Publication number: 20090152052
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an industrial truck (10) with at least one brakable driving wheel (22), a permissible maximum speed of the industrial truck (10) being determined as a function of a picked-up load (24, 24?). The invention proposes that the maximum speed is established depending on a distance (A) which is measured between a first component (34) and a second component (36) of the industrial truck (10) and changes depending on the wheel contact force acting on the brakable driving wheel (22), the two components (34, 36) moving relative to one another as a function of the picked-up load (24, 24?). In addition, the invention relates to an industrial truck with a central control unit for implementing the method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 7266904
    Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial truck having a first load-bearing component (12) and a second load-bearing component (14) which are provided such that they can move in relation to one another for the purpose of carrying out a conveying movement, a sensor scale (22) being provided on one of the load-bearing components (14) (scale load-bearing component) for the purpose of detecting the relative movement between the two load-bearing components (12, 14), and a sensor (24), which is designed to detect the sensor scale (22), being provided on the respective other load-bearing component (12) (sensor load-bearing component). The industrial truck is characterized in that the sensor scale (22) is designed integrally on the scale load-bearing component (14) such that a section (14a) of the scale load-bearing component (14) itself is the sensor scale (22).
