An axle tilt control apparatus for forklifts is disclosed. The forklift includes a rear axle pivotally supported by a body frame and a rear axle rigidly fixed to the body frame. A mast is supported at the front portion of the body frame to tilt forward and backward. Forks are supported by the mast to be lifted and lowered. The center of gravity of the forklift in the fore-and-aft direction approaches the front axle as the mast is tilted forward. Pivoting of the rear axle is restricted by the hydraulic cylinder when the height of the forks is higher than a predetermined height determination value and the weight of a load on the forks is heavier than a predetermined weight determination value to improve the vehicle's stability. The weight determination value increases as the mast is tilted forward. When a load on the forks is being unloaded, tilting of the rear axle is permitted regardless of the height of the forks and the weight of the load on the forks. Therefore, the rear axle is not unnecessarily locked.
