The present disclosure discloses industrial vehicle moving vans and in particular discloses an industrial vehicle capable of driving in four directions and a traveling mechanism for the industrial vehicle. The present disclosure is realized by the following technical schemes: a traveling mechanism for an industrial vehicle capable of driving in four directions comprises four wheel sets arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body, wherein the wheel sets can be sequentially connected to form a quadrangle; one wheel set is a rotating wheel set, another wheel set is a reversible directional wheel set, and the axis direction of the rotating wheels can be switched between two directions through the rotating action of a rotating shaft of the wheel set; the other two wheel sets are variable-state wheel sets, and the rotating wheel state can be switched between a directional state and a follow-up universal state. The present disclosure is simple in structure and low in cost and has good supporting stability, and the usage range, usage efficiency and maneuvering capability of the industrial vehicle are facilitated.
