The hand control is recessed in a compartment adjacent one side of the truck and below the upper body thereof. It is mounted pivotally from one end and extends longitudinally towards the operator; it includes a rotatable control member at the opposite end so that the operator's forearm when in controlling positions is normally in or adjacent to the vertical plane of the control handle and the hand palm is located generally in a vertical plane and faces the control member which rotates on an axis transverse of the truck.
