Industrial vehicle with a pendulum axel

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• four wheels (4, 5, 12, 13),
• a vehicle chassis (2), and
• a rear axle (1) in a form of a pendulum axle (1),
• the pendulum axle being mounted in a pivot mounting (3) on the vehicle chassis (2) for undergoing pivoting movement about a pivot axis (a) that extends in a longitudinal direction (x) of the vehicle, and, depending upon a driving situation, a maximum pivot angle (α1, α2) that limits the pivoting movements being settable.

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• four wheels,
• a vehicle chassis, and
• a rear pendulum axle,
• first and second wheels of the four wheels being rotatably mounted at opposite ends of the rear pendulum axle,
• the rear pendulum axle being mounted on the vehicle chassis by a pivot joint that is located between the first and the second wheels, the rear pendulum axle being pivotable about a pivot axis that extends through the pivot join in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle such that the rear pendulum axle is pivotable relative to the vehicle chassis between first and second maximum pivot angles, and the first and the second maximum pivot angles, which limit pivotal movement of the rear pendulum axle, being set based on current operating conditions of the vehicle.
