Abstract
A control device for use in a cargo handling vehicle in which a single power plant provides both the vehicle drive and the power to the cargo handling device has a continuously variable transmission. The cargo handling device is actuated by means of a hydraulic pump. Whether or not the cargo handling device is in operation the operator need not adjust the degree of depression of a drive pedal to maintain constant vehicle speed because automatic compensation means are provided for that purpose. The demands upon the vehicle operator are accordingly reduced.
