Abstract: An industrial truck for handling pallets. The truck includes a drive unit and a load unit. The load unit includes two load-receiving arms that receive the pallet and that are oriented in the direction of motion of the truck, i.e., in a longitudinal direction of the industrial truck. The load-receiving arms, when viewed from the direction of motion of the truck, are provided on different sides of the pallet to be picked up and include a plurality of pallet pick-ups that are spaced apart in the direction of motion of the truck and that are engaged or disengaged with the pallet by a transversal motion with respect to the direction of motion of the truck.
