  • Patent number: 11851312
    Abstract: A transport vehicle includes two non-steered drive wheels, two non-driven steered load wheels, drive motors for driving the drive wheels, a steering target value encoder, a device for detecting the steering angle of one of the load wheels, and an electric control unit. An actuation of the steering target value encoder displaces a steering pole along a steering pole axis. The steering target value encoder steers each of the load wheels from a first position in which the load wheels' axes run parallel to the drive wheels' axes into a second position in which the load wheels' axes are oriented to the steering pole which lies between the drive wheels. The electronic control unit influences a rotational speed of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle and reverses a direction of rotation of at least one of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle.
