To provide a forklift capable of accurately detecting that a pallet comes into contact with a fork from the side.SOLUTION: A fork 2 equipped by a forklift comprises a fork body 10, a fork cover 20 to cover a top face, a right side face 11R, and a left side face 11L of the fork body 10, and a supporting mechanism 30 to support the fork cover 20 relative to the fork body 10. The supporting mechanism 30 is configured to support so that the fork cover 20 can be displaced horizontally relative to the fork body 10. The forklift comprises a laser-type measuring distance sensor 4 to emit a laser beam toward the front of the fork 2 through the gap between the fork body 10 and the fork cover 20. The measuring distance sensor 4 is configured so that it can detect the displacement of the fork cover 20 relative to the fork body 10, and is configured to be detectable an object located in front of the fork 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
