  • Patent number: 12129627
    Abstract: Provided is a work vehicle capable of satisfying a user's demand to brake performance in a flexible manner. A wheel loader 1 comprises a controller 5 storing a plurality of control characteristics each of which is set such that a brake valve control pressure Pi of a solenoid proportional valve 45 increases as a pedal angle ? of a brake pedal 43 increases, and under the condition where a pedal angle ? is equal to or less than a predetermined pedal angle ?, an increase rate of the brake valve control pressure Pi with respect to the pedal angle ? varies. In a case where the pedal angle ? detected by a potentiometer 33 is equal to or less than the predetermined pedal angle ?th, the controller 5, calculates the brake valve control pressure Pi based on the selected one control characteristic.
