A steering and driving system () for an industrial truck with a driving engine (), a driving transmission (), a steering engine () and a steering transmission (), through that one rotor () arranged on a wheel hub () could be driven and is swivelable at a vertical axis (V). For the realization of the compact design form as well as lesser manufacturing costs for this steering and driving system is considered, that the driving engine (), the steering engine () and the steering transmission () are arranged co-axially to each other.

Steering and driving system for an industrial truck

A wheel drive has one first prime mover (), one brake () and one second prime mover () which are co-axially disposed. Via a reduction gear (), the first prime mover () drives a drive wheel () for the traction gear, the second prime mover (), via a planetary transmission (), drive the prime mover in direction of a steering motion.
