A lifting carriage of an industrial truck, in particular of a storage and retrieval device, having a universal load-handling device for palletlessly picking up and delivering pallet-loading goods from a transfer space or to the transfer space, particularly from or to a rack-storage space, wherein the loading good is heavy and lowered to the transfer space or lifted by means of a hoist unit of the industrial truck from the transfer space for the purpose of storage or retrieval, the load-handling device comprising: - a longitudinal support, which is substantially oriented in a longitudinal direction; - a plurality of prongs, which are substantially oriented in the transverse direction and which are supported on the longitudinal support in a transversally displaceable manner by means of a prong drive, in order to extend and retract the prongs in the transverse direction relative to the longitudinal support; and - a plurality of linear conveyors which are substantially oriented in the transverse direction, wherein respectively one of the linear conveyor is assigned to one of the prongs, wherein the linear conveyors are moved by means of a linear-conveyor drive, and wherein the linear conveyors protrude vertically over the prongs, in order to carry the loading goods on the linear conveyors and to move the loading goods in the transverse direction relative to the prongs; wherein the prongs are supported on the longitudinal support in the longitudinal direction by means of a width-adjustment drive is fixed in a transverse direction on the lifting carrier of the industrial truck in a transversally displaceable manner by means of a longitudinal-support drive so that they are displacable longitudinally to each other; and each of the linear conveyors comprises a closed traction device, which runs in an endless manner around one of the prongs by means of idler pulleys, which are respectively supported in the one of the prongs, characterized in that the longitudinal support is fixed in a transverse direction on the lifting carrier of the industrial truck in a transversally displaceable manner by means of a longitudinal-support drive and wherein the closed traction device couples the linear conveyor mechanically to the one of the prongs such that the traction device is moved during retraction or extension of the one of the prongs, wherein the movement of the prong drives the traction device. - a longitudinal support, which is substantially oriented in a longitudinal direction; - a plurality of prongs, which are substantially oriented in the transverse direction and which are supported on the longitudinal support in a transversally displaceable manner by means of a prong drive, in order to extend and retract the prongs in the transverse direction relative to the longitudinal support; and - a plurality of linear conveyors which are substantially oriented in the transverse direction, wherein respectively one of the linear conveyor is assigned to one of the prongs, wherein the linear conveyors are moved by means of a linear-conveyor drive, and wherein the linear conveyors protrude vertically over the prongs, in order to carry the loading goods on the linear conveyors and to move the loading goods in the transverse direction relative to the prongs;
