Industrial truck with a drive section and a load section and method for entering a pallet

A method for driving into a closed pallet with an industrial truck, wherein the closed pallet includes at least one pallet pocket and the industrial truck includes a load section configured to be adjusted in height and including two fork tines that each include a support element extending along a longitudinal direction of each fork tine, the method comprising:

• positioning the load section at a first lifting height,
• moving the two fork tines into the at least one pallet pocket without contacting the at least one pallet pocket;
• lowering the load section to a second lifting height if at least one portion of the support element is located above a pallet board, wherein at the second lifting height, the support element contacts the pallet board;
• moving at least one load wheel to a folded-in position;
• entering the pallet pockets with the at least one load wheel in the folded-in position such that the two fork tines are supported by the support elements on the pallet boards and the at least one load wheel does not support the two fork tines on the pallet boards;
• and
• folding down load rollers and raising the pallet to transport height if the at least one load wheel is in a predetermined intermediate region that is free of pallet boards.
