Method for operation and industrial truck

An industrial truck with three wheels, wherein,

• during a longitudinal travel of the industrial truck, two wheels of the three wheels run in succession and at least approximately in a first lane, and a third wheel of the three wheels runs in a second lane, the two wheels being steerable,
• the two wheels running in the first lane are steerable around a respective steering angle, and
• the third wheel running in the second lane initially runs on an inside during a cornering,
• the industrial truck comprising:
• a rotational drive device configured to transmit a drive power so as to rotationally drive of at least one of the two wheels running in the first lane during the longitudinal travel and the third wheel running in the second lane;
• a steering angle detection device configured to continuously detect the respective steering angles or to detect a specific steering angle of the two wheels;
• a device configured to influence the drive power transmitted by the rotational drive device to the two wheels and to the third wheel;
• means for interrupting and/or reversing a direction of rotation of the rotational drive device of the third wheel;
• and
• a time delay device which is configured, after detecting a specific steering angle after a specified delay time, to activate the means for interrupting and/or reversing a direction of rotation of the drive of the third wheel.
