Abstract

A controlling device of a forklift executes a stopping process of stopping lowering of a fork by a lift device when a detection sensor is separated from a first facing surface while the fork is being lowered by the lift device in a placing operation, a forward tilting process executed after execution of the stopping process, the forward tilting process controlling the tilt device to tilt the fork forward until the tilt angle reaches a limit value, and a returning process of sequentially obtaining values of the tilt angle during execution of the forward tilting process and tilting the fork rearward when the value of the tilt angle stops changing before the tilt angle reaches the limit value. The returning process is not executed in a case in which the tilt angle reaches the limit value.
