Publication number: 20060180400Abstract: The invention provides an industrial truck (10), in particular an order-picking stacker, which is provided with a sheet-holding device (30) which is mounted on a supporting structure (21) in the region of a driver's platform (20) on the industrial truck (10). A writing surface (32) of the sheet-holding device (30) can be displaced between a storage position and a use position along a displacement path and can be fixed in at least the use position. Furthermore, a force-exerting device (42) is provided which exerts a force (F) on the sheet-holding device (30) when the sheet-holding device (30) is displaced at least along a section of the displacement path (V) in at least one displacement direction, advantageously in both displacement directions, said force having a force component (Fv, Fv?) which is effective in the displacement direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Inventor: Michael Schonauer
