Abstract
An industrial truck () with a jaw coupling () that includes a coupling body () and a coupling pin (), a system including such an industrial truck and a trailer (), and a method for coupling the trailer to the industrial truck. The industrial truck includes a control unit (), at least one locking sensor () and a locking actuator (). The locking sensor is configured to recognize whether a coupling eye () of a drawbar () of a trailer is located in a locking position within the coupling body. The control unit is configured to receive and evaluate signals from the locking sensor and, when the locking sensor recognizes that the coupling eye is located in or near the locking position, the control unit is configured to control the locking actuator so that it actuates the coupling pin such that the coupling pin is shoved through the coupling eye.
