Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a forklift truck from turning over even if the forklift truck rapidly turns by regulating speed by calculating turning over limit speed in which an angle forming with force of the forklift truck turning over direction applied to the centroid of the forklift truck and a prescribed direction becomes a limit angle, based on the centroid, steering amount and weight of a loading part. SOLUTION: The centroid and the turning over limit angle of a reach forklift truck 1 is calculated by reach amount based on the detection signal from a reach sensor 15, a height of a fork 5 based on the detection signal from a height sensor 13 and live load, etc., based on the detection signal from a weighting sensor 14. Further, turning over limit speed in which an angle forming with force of a forklift truck turning over direction applied to the centroid and a prescribed direction becomes a limit angle is calculated, based on the centroid, steering amount and weight of a loading part. A running controller controls speed at time of a turning so as not to exceed the tuning over limit and turning over of the reach forklift truck 1 is prevented.
