Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller surely preventing interference between a working base and a telescopic boom in a vehicle for high lift work provided with a working bench constructed of a based body part and an elevating part. SOLUTION: In a vehicle for high lift work, a working bench 4 is installed on the tip of a telescopic boom 3 via a mounting base 10, while the working bench 4 is constructed of a base body part 41 connected to the mounting base 10 side and an elevating part 42 lifting/lowering from/to the base body part 41, and a limit derricking angle θA of the telescopic boom 3 and a limit revolving angle θB of the working bench 4 are provided in a condition to set the elevating part 42 of the working bench 4 in the lowered position. If a derricking angel θ1 of the telescopic boom 3 is within the limit derricking angle θA and a revolving angle θ2 of the working bench 4 is within the limit revolving angle θB when the elevating part 42 is in the lifted position, a lowering action of the elevating part 42 is prohibited. If the elevating part 42 is in the lowered position and a boom derricking angle θ1 of the telescopic boom 3 is within the limit derricking angle θA, a revolving action of the working bench 4 is prohibited. If the elevating part 42 is in the lowered position and a revolving angle θ2 of the working bench 4 is within the limit revolving angle θB, a derricking action of the telescopic boom 3 is prohibited.

Between the angle “+ θB” and the negative turning limit angle “−θB”
Is determined as “| θ2 | <| θB |”.
If the telescopic boom 3 moves down further,
The telescopic boom 3 may interfere with the worktable 4.
In this case, the telescopic boom 3 is prohibited from falling down.
(Step S10). In step S10,
Is the operation in the interference direction, that is, the falling operation of the telescopic boom 3
Operation in the direction opposite to the interference direction,
That is, the raising operation is allowed. On the other hand, in step S9, "| θ
2 |> | θB | ”, the telescopic boot
Since there is no possibility of interference between the system 3 and the work table 4,
