Patent attributes
The present invention relates to an industrial truck (10) having a load-receiving device (14) for the purpose of receiving a load (34), said load-receiving device (14) having a clamping device (23) in order to hold a clamping region (36) of the received load (34) in clamping engagement, the clamping device (23) having at least one clamping mechanism (24, 28) which can move between a clamping position and a release position, a drive arrangement (40), which is coupled to at least one of the clamping mechanisms (24, 28), for the purpose of moving the clamping mechanisms (24, 28) and an elastic device (42) which prestresses the clamping mechanisms (24, 28) towards one of the positions. With the industrial truck according to the invention, provision is made for the elastic device (42) to prestress the clamping mechanisms (24, 28) in the direction of the clamping position and to exert a clamping force on the clamping region (36) of the load (34) in the clamping position.
