Abstract

An industrial truck ( 1 ) has a lifting device ( 9 ) including a movable load bearing implement ( 11 ) having a fork-shaped load handling attachment ( 14 ) and a towing device ( 20 ). The load handling attachment ( 14 ) has at least one load segment ( 14 b ) which is mounted so that it can be pivoted around an essentially horizontal pivoting axis ( 15 ). In one embodiment of the invention, the towing device ( 20 ) is located in the vicinity of the lifting device ( 9 ).

Claims (18)

1. An industrial truck, comprising:

a lifting device comprising a movable load bearing implement including a fork-shaped load-handling attachment and a towing device for the transport of trailers;

wherein the movable load bearing implement comprises a fork carrier and the load handling attachment includes a air of fork arms separated laterally from each other, the towing device directly mounted to the fork carrier such that a height of the towing device is adjustable, the towing device comprising a plurality of vertically spaced-apart flange plates and a coupling pin inserted between said plates such that a height of said pin is adjustable, each of the fork arms having a load segment pivotably secured to the movable load bearing implement around a substantially horizontal pivoting axis, and wherein the towing device is positioned laterally between the pair of fork arms.

2. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the load segment of the load handling attachment is pivotable by means of an auxiliary power device.

3. The industrial truck as recited in claim 2 , wherein the load segment of the load handling attachment is pivotable by means of the auxiliary power device from a driver's position.

4. The industrial truck as recited in claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary power device comprises a hydraulic cylinder.

5. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , including an electrical drive system, wherein a driver's position is located between a front-end drive section provided with a steerable drive wheel and a rear-end chassis segment, and wherein the industrial truck includes load rollers in a vicinity of the rear-end chassis segment.

6. The industrial truck as recited in claim 5 , wherein in the vicinity of the rear-end chassis segment there is a battery compartment to hold an energy supply device.

7. The industrial truck as recited in claim 5 , wherein in the vicinity of the drive section there is a battery compartment to hold an energy supply device.

8. The industrial truck as recited in claim 5 , wherein the lifting device is located in the vicinity of the rear-end chassis segment.

9. The industrial truck as recited in claim 5 , wherein the driver's position includes a standing platform.

10. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lifting device includes a stationary fixed mast, in which the load bearing implement is located so that it is movable up and down by a lifting drive.

11. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the industrial truck has an overall width of a maximum of 900 mm.

12. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the industrial truck, when the load segments of the load handling attachment are in the horizontal position, has an overall length of a maximum of 1800 mm.

13. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the industrial truck has an entry height of a maximum of 150 mm.

14. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the industrial truck has a maximum lifting height of 1250 mm.

15. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the load segment of each fork arm is pivotably secured to the movable load bearing implement via a fork backpiece, with each load segment pivotable relative to the respective fork backpiece.

16. The industrial truck as recited in claim 1 , wherein the load segment of each fork arm is pivotably secured to the movable load bearing implement via the load bearing implement, with each load segment pivotable relative to the load bearing implement.
