CARRIER VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carrier vehicle adequately operable even by a single hand by enhancing the operability of an accelerator device. SOLUTION: An accelerator device 13 comprises an operation ring 14 integrally turnable with a steering wheel 12 with its diameter being smaller than that of the steering wheel 12, and arranged inward of the steering wheel 12 in the radial direction, a spoke 15 provided with one end thereof being connected to the operation ring 14, a base 16 which is supported by an upper portion of an equipment storage chamber 2 in the vertically movable manner with the other end of the spoke 15 connected thereto, and a detector 18 which is connected to the base 16 via a transmission mechanism 17 to detect the movement of the base 16. The operation ring 14 consists of a parallel portion concentrically formed with the steering wheel 12 and an inclined portion which is inclined upward of a driving cab 4 side with respect to the parallel portion, and the base 16 is supported in the vertically movable manner when the inclined portion is located above the steering wheel 12.
