Abstract
A pedestrian-operated load-handling machine (1) comprising a chassis (2) with a horizontal U-shaped section, movable forks (5) arranged between the arms (4) of the U, a steering control device (6) in the form of a tiller and / or a radio control system, a device (7) for providing a ground speed command for the machine (1), chassis support wheels (2) comprising two rear wheels (81, 82) arranged at the arms (4) of the U and a front steering wheel (9). The rear wheels (81, 82) are each equipped with a rotary drive motor system. The machine (1) includes a sensor (11) for the angular position of the front wheel (9) and a motor control unit (12) configured to control the motor systems at a speed based on the data provided by the sensor (11) for the angular position of the front wheel (9).
