Abstract

An operator control device (100, 1100) for a materials-handling vehicle (50) includes an ergonomic handle (100, 1100) rotatably mounted on a support structure (102, 1130) secured to the vehicle (50) in a fixed position. The ergonomic handle (1100) can include left and right handles (1120, 1110). Each handle (110, 1110, 1120) comprises an upper surface (114) contoured to ergonomically support an operator's hand (22). Clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the control device (1100) produces a steering input used to steer the vehicle (50). A thumb-operated switch (1112, 1122) can be arranged on the right or left handle (1110, 1120) to control lift operations and a separate thumb-operated switch (1112, 1122) can be arranged on the opposite handle (1110, 1120) to control a speed of the vehicle (50). Each switch (1112, 1122) can be operated without requiring the operator (20) to move his/her hand (22) from an operating position. Dynamic stability is provided by enabling an operator (20) to use the handle (110, 1100) to provide a bracing force during operation of the vehicle (50).
