Abstract: Provided is a wheel loader capable of automatically decreasing vehicle speed without making an operator feel discomfort during a loading operation. A wheel loader 1 mounted with a torque converter type traveling drive system comprises a controller 5 configured to control shifting of a transmission 32. When a vehicle body travels forward at vehicle speed corresponding to a second speed stage set greater by one speed stage than the lowest speed stage of the transmission 32 while operating the lift arm 21 upwardly, the controller 5 sets, as a gear ratio of the transmission 32, an intermediate gear ratio between a gear ratio corresponding to the second speed stage and a gear ratio corresponding to a first speed stage, and outputs a signal for selecting a combination of a plurality of gears corresponding to the set gear ratio to each first to fifth solenoid control valves 32A to 32E.

A wheel loader 1 comprising a vehicle body controller 5, 5A for controlling an engine 41, wherein the vehicle body controller 5, 5A limits an upper limit rotational speed of the engine 41 based on an accelerator pedal step-on amount ?, a brake pedal step-on amount ?, a torque converter speed ratio e which is a ratio of a rotational speed of a torque converter 42, a discharge pressure P1 of a loading hydraulic pump 44, and a stroke amount S1 of lift arm cylinders 22 or a stroke amount S2 of a bucket cylinder 24.

Abstract: Provided is a wheel loader in which the speed position of the transmission can be easily changed with a small number of switches. The wheel loader 1 includes a tilting angle sensor 9 for detecting the tilting angle of the vehicle body. In case that the vehicle body is traveling on an uphill or a downhill with a transmission 33 in a higher speed position than the lowest speed position, and the tilting angle detected by the tilting angle sensor 9 is not smaller than a prescribed threshold value, a transmission control device 45 sends the transmission 33 a command to downshift the transmission 33 one speed position by each operation of a shiftdown switch 62.
