Patent ID: 7216024

Claim:
An industrial truck, comprising: a plurality of wheels; a load lifting system; a drive system; a stabilizing device configured to prevent tipping of the truck and comprising a plurality of wheel load sensors, each load sensor connected to an individual wheel and configured to measure a wheel load, wherein each load sensor is an integrated wheel load sensor; and a monitoring device, wherein at least two wheels of the truck have a speed-of-rotation sensor connected to the monitoring device to determine a speed and steering radius of the truck, wherein the monitoring device includes an evaluation unit configured to determine transverse tipping forces, longitudinal tipping forces, tipping movements, and load weight based on the measured wheel loads, speed, and steering radius, and wherein the monitoring device is effectively connected with actuator units to control inclination of a lifting mast, adjusting the height of a load, adjusting vehicle speed, adjusting vehicle acceleration, adjusting braking intensity, and adjusting steering angle, and wherein the monitoring device is configured to control the load lifting system and the drive system of the truck based on the wheel load and speed-of-rotation sensor data to counteract a measured tipping force.
