Abstract
A method for determining the probability a handling truck tipping over includes determining a respective normal force acting in the z direction for at least two of at least three wheels of the handling truck. At least two normal forces are compared and the probability of the tipping of the handling truck is determined on the basis of the comparison.
Claims16
A method for determining a probability of tipping of an industrial truck having at least three wheels, comprising:
- determining a respective normal force (FZVL, FZHL) which acts in the z direction for at least two wheels,
- comparing at least two normal forces (FZVL, FZHL), and
- determining the probability of tipping of the industrial truck on the basis of the comparison.
A computing unit configured to implement a method for determining a probability of tipping of an industrial truck having at least three wheels, the method including:
- determining a respective normal force which acts in the z direction for at least two wheels,
- comparing at least two normal forces, and
- determining the probability of tipping of the industrial truck on the basis of the comparison.
