Abstract: A hydraulic motor control circuit for use in a device for driving construction equipment, such as shovel loader, which comprises a hydraulic driving motor, a pump for feeding compressed oil to the hydraulic motor and a tank for receiving the compressed oil discharged from the hydraulic motor. The circuit comprises a pilot operation type main valve for controlling the oil flow between the pump and the motor and between the motor and the tank, and a remote control valve for feeding a pilot oil pressure to a pilot chamber of the main valve to turn the main valve to a first position for driving the hydraulic motor. As a feature of this invention, the control circuit further comprises an apparatus for detecting the slanting angle of a downward slope and feeding an oil pressure corresponding to the slanting angle to a second pilot chamber of the main valve.
