Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2674387A1] A fork lift truck is disclosed, comprising: a steering system with at least one steerable wheel, a steering control for steering the steerable wheel and a steering angle detection means for directly or indirectly detecting a steering angle of the steerable wheel; and a traction motor system for driving said truck. A permissible maximum travelling speed provided by the traction motor system is controllable in dependence of the steering angle of the steerable wheel, whereby the permissible maximum travelling speed is more limited at large steering angles than at low steering angles. The steering system further comprises an angular velocity determination means for direct or indirect determination of an angular velocity of a steering angle alteration. The permissible maximum travelling speed is further controlled in dependence of the angular velocity, so that the permissible maximum travelling speed is more limited when a high angular velocity is determined than when a low angular velocity is determined.
