  • Patent number: 7137473
    Abstract: A four-wheel industrial truck with a swing axle for the rear wheels, a drive, and a control device for said drive that generates an actuating signal for the drive in response to a transducer signal. A stop is provided on the bodywork of the industrial truck that cooperates with the body of the swing axle, wherein a switch is arranged on the axle stop and the switch is coupled to the control device so as to reduce the drive torque of the drive when the switch is actuated.

  • Patent number: 6398480
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fork-lift truck including a vehicle body which has rear wheels and a lift frame for load-carrying means, and including a wheel bearing means. For an increase in stability in standing of the fork-lift truck, a shifting or pivoting device interacting with the vehicle body is provided, which moves the wheel bearing means with respect to the vehicle body while varying the axle base and the distance of the load center from the front wheel.

  • Patent number: 6385518
    Abstract: An industrial truck, particularly a fork-lift truck, wherein the front and rear wheels are supported on a vehicle frame and one of which is adapted to be driven, a load-receiving means which is adjustable at least in height by means of a power-exerting apparatus, and a safety device which detects a tilt of the industrial truck and is in an operative communication at least with an alarm signal emitter, whereby a load sensor is associated with at least one wheel and the safety device has a comparison device which provides a signal to the alarm signal emitter when one or more of the wheel loads measured fall below a preset value.
