The invention provides a forklift automated guided vehicle capable of reducing the inherent risk of object contacting risk of a forklift, a control method and a control apparatus therefor. The forklift automated guided vehicle comprises a plurality of first obstacle detecting devices (2, 3, 4) which are arranged on the periphery of a vehicle body (1B) and detect the surrounding environment of the vehicle body (1B), a detection area memory portion which stores, in advance, vehicle body (1B) peripheral obstacle detection area (A) set according to the operation conditions including driving speed, turning direction and shifting action of the vehicle body (1B), and an obstacle detection and safe control portion 1S which sends the information of selected obstacle detection area (A) to the plurality of first obstacle detecting devices (2, 3, 4) according to the obstacle detection area (A) selected according to actual driving conditions of the vehicle body (1B). When obstacles are detected in the selected obstacle detection area (A), the driving vehicle is stopped.
