Abstract
The object of the invention is a driver restraint device for an industrial truck, whereby the driver restraint device has a pivoting bar. The invention teaches that the bar can be pivoted by an operator as desired between an inoperative position and a restraining position, and can be locked in the restraining position and unlocked from the restraining position. In one configuration of the invention, there is at least one control element and/or at least one indicator or display element on the bar. In an additional configuration, a parking brake of the industrial truck can be released as a function of the rotational position of the bar.
