Abstract

A hydraulic drive device for cargo handling vehicle has: a tank; a pump for drawing in a hydraulic oil from the tank and supplying the hydraulic oil to hydraulic cylinders; an electric motor for driving the pump; a solenoid-controlled proportional valve disposed between an inlet port of the pump and a bottom chamber of an up-and-down hydraulic cylinder and configured to open with a valve travel depending upon a control input of a descent control of an up-and-down control member; a pressure compensation valve disposed between a branch portion located between the pump and the solenoid-controlled proportional valve and the tank and configured to open with a valve travel depending upon a pressure difference between pressures upstream and downstream of the solenoid-controlled proportional valve; and a valve disposed between the pressure compensation valve and the tank and configured to be switched between an open position and a close position.
