Abstract
In a material handling vehicle such as an electric forklift, a depression amount of an accelerator pedal that provides an instruction on a control amount of a drive motor for driving a drive wheel is detected. When the depression amount of the accelerator pedal is equal to or larger than a predetermined value and a forward-backward switching signal that indicates that a shift lever is operated is received, a drive current for a steered system motor is set to a value smaller than a normal drive current within a predetermined time period that starts upon reception of the forward-backward switching signal.
