Abstract: An industrial truck has a canopy with two columns arranged laterally on the vehicle, which support a crown equipped with one or more belts. The one or more belts are connected with an assembly plate having an opening for a glass roof, which is glued in a circumferential profile frame. The profile frame is thereby connected with at least one belt and/or support profiles extending between the belts.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating an electrical steering system of an industrial truck. An assignment assigns a target value for a rotational position of the steering wheel to each rotational position of the steered wheel. An electrical steering drive motor is provided for the steered wheel such that the detected rotational movement of the steering wheel is converted into rotational movement according to a predetermined transmission factor. An absolute value of a rotational position of the steering wheel and the steered wheel is detected during travel of the industrial truck.

Abstract: Operating device for at least two functions of a floor conveyor, featuring at least one manually operable operational control element for an electric switch, which is connected with an electric/electronic control unit for the functions via electric lines. A plug- in codification connection is arranged in the course of the wiring of the leads, the interior connection of which pre-sets which one of the two functions are driven by the operational control element. An indicating panel for the respective envisioned function is arranged on a visible surface in the floor conveyor near to the operational control element, in which a sign or a carrier for an indicating panel is non-detachably connected with the plug-in codification connection.

Abstract: A braking device for an industrial truck, comprising a hydraulic brake cylinder which is coupled to an actuating element and is connected with at least one hydraulic brake associated with a wheel of the industrial truck via a brake line wherein another hydraulic brake cylinder is connected to the hydraulic brake line, the second brake cylinder is coupled to an electromagnet, and am emergency stop device is provided which supplies a braking signal to the electromagnet to actuate the second brake cylinder.

Abstract: Spring brake for an industrial truck with a brake disc, which is splinedly mounted on a rotatable motor shaft, a brake magnet disposed in a vehicle-fixed brake housing, a splined axially movable pressure plate between brake disc and brake magnet, which is pie-tensioned against the brake disc by a spring arrangement, and a device for monitoring the switch status of the spring brake, characterised in that a proximity switch is fixed on the brake housing, an initiator for the proximity switch is connected with the pressure plate and the hysteresis for the proximity switch is smaller than the minimal travel path of the pressure plate.

Abstract: A pallet truck, having a longitudinal and a transverse axis, the pallet truck comprising a load bearing part and a driving part which parts being arranged one after the other on the longitudinal axis, a driver platform in the driver part which is designed such that the viewing direction of the driver if standing in normal operating position on the platform extends transverse to the longitudinal axis, the driver platform having an open entering side and an armrest on the opposite side, the front end of the armrest being provided with control elements for controlling individual functions of the pallet truck, the armrest can be lifted or lowered together with the control elements.
