Abstract

An industrial truck has a driving part, a load-receiving device, and at least one battery block located in the region of the driving part. At least one battery block can be removed from the driving part in the direction of one main driving direction of the industrial truck. Preferably, the battery block can be moved out of the driving part in the direction of the load-receiving device. Where the industrial truck incorporates a lifting framework, the battery block can be moved through a free space located between two pillars of the lifting framework. The industrial truck can be in the form of a reach truck.
