Abstract
A hydraulic drive apparatus includes a hydraulic pump that discharges a working fluid; a flow dividing valve that divides a pump passage connected to the hydraulic pump into first and second passages, and changes an opening degree of each passage according to a signal that is input to the flow dividing valve; a travel system hydraulic circuit that is connected to the first passage and controls a flow of the working fluid to a travel motor; a loading system hydraulic circuit that is connected to the second passage and controls a flow of the working fluid to a loading actuator; a pressure sensor that detects a pressure supplied to the travel motor; and a control device that controls, by outputting the signal to the flow dividing valve, the opening degree of the first and second passages according to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor.
