Method for controlling a combined rotary-push movement of a load-lifting means of an industrial truck, in particular of a three-way forklift, the combined rotary-push movement comprising a rotary movement of the load-lifting means through an angle of 180° about a rotary shaft and a push movement of the rotary shaft along a push path over a predetermined distance; both the rotary movement and the push movement being caused by respective hydraulic elements (32, 34) which are supplied with hydraulic fluid from a single hydraulic pump which is driven by an associated pump motor, and a performance characteristic of the hydraulic pump being controlled according to a predetermined time curve during the rotary-push movement; the industrial truck comprising a valve arrangement which is designed to be operated such that - below a threshold value of the hydraulic pressure provided by the hydraulic pump, only the rotary movement of the load-lifting means is caused, while - above the threshold value, both the rotary movement and the push movement are caused, characterised in that sensor means (36a, 36b) are provided which detect a temperature of the pump motor and/or the hydraulic pump, and the predetermined time curve of the performance characteristic of the hydraulic pump during the rotary-push movement is adjusted according to a predetermined relationship on the basis of the temperature of the pump motor and/or the pump detected by the sensor means (36a, 36b), in order to correct a deviation between an intended ratio of the speeds of the rotary and push movement of the load-lifting means and an actual ratio of the speeds of the rotary and push movement of the load-lifting means. both the rotary movement and the push movement being caused by respective hydraulic elements (32, 34) which are supplied with hydraulic fluid from a single hydraulic pump which is driven by an associated pump motor, and a performance characteristic of the hydraulic pump being controlled according to a predetermined time curve during the rotary-push movement; the industrial truck comprising a valve arrangement which is designed to be operated such that - below a threshold value of the hydraulic pressure provided by the hydraulic pump, only the rotary movement of the load-lifting means is caused, while - above the threshold value, both the rotary movement and the push movement are caused, - below a threshold value of the hydraulic pressure provided by the hydraulic pump, only the rotary movement of the load-lifting means is caused, while - above the threshold value, both the rotary movement and the push movement are caused, characterised in that sensor means (36a, 36b) are provided which detect a temperature of the pump motor and/or the hydraulic pump, and the predetermined time curve of the performance characteristic of the hydraulic pump during the rotary-push movement is adjusted according to a predetermined relationship on the basis of the temperature of the pump motor and/or the pump detected by the sensor means (36a, 36b), in order to correct a deviation between an intended ratio of the speeds of the rotary and push movement of the load-lifting means and an actual ratio of the speeds of the rotary and push movement of the load-lifting means.
