Abstract
An industrial truck designed, for example, as a counterweight fork lift truck has a lifting stand 2, which is pivotable around a tilting axis N situated crosswise to the vehicular longitudinal axis in the front area of the vehicle in a lifting stand support. The counterweight fork lift truck is also provided with a monitoring unit for detecting and indicating the loading state, which has at least one measuring device located in the lifting stand support. The measuring device designed, for example, as a strain gauge 12, 13 picks up the vertical bearing forces and the horizontal ones parallel to the vehicular longitudinal axis, F.sub.V and F.sub.H. The measuring device is connected with a data storage unit 13, which is connected to a loading state indicator 14. Both static and dynamic loads on the fork lift truck can be indicated.
