Abstract

An industrial truck ( 1 ) has a drive section ( 2 ) and a movable load section ( 4 ). The load section ( 4 ) has at least one wheelarm ( 5 ) with at least one load roller ( 6 ) rotatably mounted in a load roller carrier ( 12 ) which is mounted by a swivel bearing ( 13 ) on the wheelarm ( 5 ). The swivel-bearing ( 13 ) is a bearing pin ( 20 ). A linkage ( 10 ) is connected with the load roller carrier ( 12 ) by a coupling pin ( 21 ). The load roller carrier ( 12 ) has two outer bearing levers ( 12 a, 12 b ) with bearing flanges ( 32 a, 32 b ) for mounting the bearing pin ( 20 ) and bearing flanges ( 33 a, 33 b ) for mounting the coupling pin ( 21 ), and an additional web ( 30 ) located between the outer bearing levers ( 12 a, 12 b ) and having a bearing flange ( 32 c ) for mounting the bearing pin ( 20 ) and/or a bearing flange ( 33 c ) for mounting the coupling pin ( 21 ).

Claims (15)

1. An industrial truck, comprising:

a drive section;

a load section movable relative to the drive section;

at least one wheelarm connected to the load section and including at least one load roller, wherein the load roller is rotatably mounted in a load roller carrier and the load roller carrier is swivel-mounted by a swivel bearing on the wheelarm, wherein the swivel bearing of the load roller carrier comprises a bearing pin mounted on the wheelarm;

a linkage operatively connected with the load roller carrier, wherein the linkage is connected in an articulated manner by a coupling pin with the load roller carrier;

at least one stopping projection extending from an outer surface of the load roller carrier, the at least one stopping projection being located between the load roller carrier and the wheelarm for a lowered position of the wheelarm, and

a through-hole formed in a vertical sidewall of the at least one wheelarm to define a stop surface for receiving and contacting the at least one stopping projection when the wheelarm is lowered,

wherein the load roller carrier includes two outer bearing levers including bearing pin bearing flanges for mounting of the bearing pin and coupling pin bearing flanges for mounting of the coupling pin and the load roller carrier includes at least one web located between the outer bearing levers, and wherein the web includes a bearing flange for mounting of the bearing pin and a bearing flange for mounting of the coupling pin.

2. The industrial truck of claim 1 , wherein the wheelarm includes outer bearing flanges for mounting of the bearing pin and inner bearing flanges for mounting of the bearing pin, wherein the outer bearing levers of the load roller carrier are located respectively between the outer bearing flange and the inner bearing flange of the wheelarm.

3. The industrial truck of claim 1 , wherein the web of the load roller carrier is located between the two inner bearing flanges of the wheelarm.

4. The industrial truck of claim 1 , wherein the linkage comprises a bearing fork including two bearing segments for mounting of the coupling pin, wherein the bearing fork is located between the outer bearing levers of the load roller carrier, and wherein the web of the load roller carrier is located between the two bearing segments of the linkage.

5. The industrial truck of claim 1 , wherein the wheelarm, in a fully lowered position of the load section, has a wheelarm height of less than 50 mm above a road surface.

6. A system comprising:

an industrial truck of claim 1 having a maximum wheelarm height in a fully lowered position of the load section of 50 mm; and

a special pallet, wherein the special pallet has an entry height of a pickup opening for the wheelarms of the industrial truck of 50 mm between a road surface and an underside of a load-bearing surface of the special pallet.
