Abstract

An industrial truck ( 1 ) has a drive section ( 2 ) and a load section ( 4 ) movable relative to the drive section ( 2 ). The load section ( 4 ) has at least one wheelarm ( 5 ) having at least one load roller ( 6 ). The load roller ( 6 ) is rotatably mounted in a load roller carrier ( 12 ) swively-mounted by a swivel bearing ( 13 ) on the wheelarm ( 5 ). In the vicinity of the swivel bearing ( 13 ), on the upper side of the wheelarm ( 5 ), there is an entry guide ( 20 ). The guide ( 20 ) includes at least one roller ( 21; 22; 23; 24 ) rotatably mounted on the wheelarm ( 5 ) and projecting upwardly beyond a load-bearing surface (LF) of the wheelarm ( 5 ). The swivel bearing ( 13 ) of the load roller carrier ( 12 ) includes a bearing pin ( 25 ). The at least one roller ( 21; 22; 23; 24 ) is rotatably mounted on the bearing pin ( 25 ).

Claims (14)

1. An industrial truck, comprising:

a drive section;

a load section moveable relative to the drive section;

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

an entry guide on an upper side of the wheelarm in a vicinity of the swivel bearing of the load roller carrier, wherein the entry guide comprises at least one roller rotatably mounted on the swivel bearing and projecting upwardly beyond a load-bearing surface on an uppermost side of the wheelarm.

2. The industrial truck of claim 1 , wherein the swivel bearing of the load roller carrier comprises a bearing pin located in the wheelarm, and wherein the at least one roller is rotatably mounted on the bearing pin.

3. The industrial truck of claim 2 , wherein the load roller carrier includes two lateral bearing levers, in each of which there is an outer bearing eye for the bearing pin, and wherein the at least one roller is located between the bearing levers.

4. The industrial truck of claim 2 , wherein the bearing pin is supported in at least one bearing eye of the wheelarm and at least one bearing eye of the load roller carrier, and wherein the at least one roller is located in a longitudinal direction of the bearing pin between the bearing eye of the wheelarm and the bearing eye of the load roller carrier.

5. The industrial truck of claim 2 , wherein the load roller carrier includes two outer bearing eyes and a center bearing eye for the bearing pin, wherein a bearing eye of the wheelarm is located between the center bearing eye and an adjacent outer bearing eye of the load roller carrier, and wherein rollers are located between a respective bearing eye of the wheelarm and the center bearing eye of the load roller carrier and between the bearing eye of the wheelarm and the outer bearing eye of the load roller carrier.

6. The industrial truck of claim 1 , further including stop means for a lowered position of the wheelarm located between the load roller carrier and the wheelarm.

7. 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.

8. A system comprising:

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

a pallet having 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 pallet.
