Abstract: A method for providing driver assistance for an industrial truck and an industrial truck, particularly a forklift, including capturing steering movement of a steering device of the industrial truck, capturing images of at least part of a surrounding area of the industrial truck using at least one camera, superimposing both a travel path of contours of the industrial truck and a travel path of contours of a load transported on the industrial truck corresponding to the captured steering movement on the captured images, and displaying the captured images having the superimposed travel paths of contours of the industrial truck and the load transported on the industrial truck on a display device disposed in a region of a driver's position of the industrial truck. The contours of the load are obtained from a measurement system of the industrial truck or from virtual models of loads stored in an image processing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for driver assistance for an industrial truck and a corresponding industrial truck, particularly a forklift, including a steering device and a surrounding area display system having at least one camera, an image processing device, and a display device (10) disposed in the region of a driver's position of the industrial truck. A steering movement of the steering device is captured and images of at least part of the surrounding area of the industrial truck are captured by the at least one camera, and a travel path (1, 2, 4; 12, 14) of the industrial truck corresponding to the captured steering movement is superimposed on the captured images, and the images having the superimposed travel path (1, 2, 4; 12, 14) are displayed on the display device (10). A travel path (3; 16) corresponding to the captured steering movement of a load transported on the industrial truck is superimposed over the captured images and displayed.
