Abstract: An industrial truck has a multi-function lever for control of the movement of a load handling attachment (4) of the industrial truck. The multi-function lever has a handle element (12). The handle element (12) is essentially immobile and at least one sensor is associated with the handle element (12) for measurement of an actuation force that is exerted on the handle element (12) and/or of an actuation moment that is exerted on the handle element (12). The sensor is effectively connected with an electrical control device of the industrial truck. The control device is realized so that the speed of the movement of the load handling attachment (4) is set as a function of the magnitude of the actuation force and/or of the magnitude of the actuation moment.

Abstract: A multifunction lever for an industrial truck has a handle element (12) mounted so that it can move on a base body (10), and a sensor (20) to detect and measure the movements of the handle element (12) relative to the base body (10). The handle element (12) can be moved relative to the base body (10) in rotation around at least two coordinate axes and in translation in the direction of at least one coordinate axis. The coordinate axes belong to a system of rectangular coordinates.
