Forklift with lockable battery holder

The truck has a battery holder (10) arranged in a frame. A battery block (12) is moved into or out of the holder. A locking device (18) releasably locks the block relative to the frame and/or the holder in a fitted position. The locking device includes a lever mounted around a vehicle-mounted axle. Another lever is pivotably mounted at the former lever and clampingly engages a wall surface of the block using a buffer. A third lever is inserted into the holder during opening the former lever and pushes the block away from the locking device. The buffer is made of elastomer material.
