Abstract

An industrial truck extends along a longitudinal truck axis and comprises a drive section and a stand-on platform positioned on the drive section. The stand-on platform comprises a base element configured to pivot about a first pivot axis and a stand-on element mounted to the base element and configured to pivot about a second pivot axis. The first pivot axis is parallel to the second pivot axis and offset from the second pivot axis by an offset distance in a direction of a longitudinal truck axis, and the stand-on element is configured to extend above the base element to form a standing surface. A first suspension is configured to support the base element and a second suspension is configured to support the stand-on element. The first suspension is positioned at a distance from the second suspension in the direction of the longitudinal truck axis.
