A device for detecting the wheel angle of forklift rear wheels (Ta, Tb) is disclosed. A cylinder (20) steers the rear wheels (Ta, Tb) by means of steering mechanisms (Va, Vb) based on manipulation of a steering wheel (12). The steering mechanisms (Va, Vb) include kingpins (25a, 25b) that support the rear wheels (Ta, Tb) to be rotatable in relation to a rear axle (32). Each kingpin (25a, 25b) rotates integrally with the corresponding rear wheel (Ta, Tb). A wheel angle sensor (51), which includes a potentiometer, is fixed to the rear axle (32) by a bracket (47). The position of the sensor (51) corresponds to the position of one of the kingpins (25a). The sensor (51) detects the rotational angle of the kingpin (25a) as the wheel angle of the rear wheels (Ta, Tb). <IMAGE> |
