The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for assisting a parking brake (10), which parking brake (10) comprises a brake lever (12) which is supported in a carrier device (14) such that it is pivotable between a release position and a locking position and is able to be coupled to a braking system by means of a transmission means. The arrangement (1) comprises a lifting element (20) with an energy storage unit (22), which is operatively connected to the brake lever (12). The operative connection comprises a redirecting element (30) which is supported in a way pivotable about a pivot axis (32) and is arranged in such a way that the redirecting element couples the lifting element (20) to the brake lever (12).

Provided is a brake device which improves energy efficiency. The brake device includes a stroke length adjusting unit configured to adjust rod stroke S.sub.R (stroke length of a piston in a master cylinder) relative to pedal stroke S.sub.P (quantity of operation of brake pedal by the driver).

A work vehicle according to an aspect of the present invention is configured to shift, in a transmission unit, a speed of a driving force from an engine mounted on a traveling body and to transfer the shifted driving force to a traveling unit and a work unit. The work vehicle includes: a mode shift switch that is configured to shift a maximum vehicle speed by the traveling unit or a maximum number of revolutions of the engine, the maximum vehicle speed and the maximum number of revolutions being set for each of a plurality of modes; and a work unit operation lever that is configured to be used for operating the work unit. The work unit operation lever is provided with the mode shift switch.

An actuator control device performs a reception process in which designations of a minimum operation amount and maximum operation amount of an operation unit for driving an actuator, and a maximum driving speed which is the actuator driving speed corresponding to the maximum operation amount are received. It also performs a determination process in which a function representing a characteristic line that links a first point, which corresponds to the minimum operation amount and the driving speed of 0, and a second point, which corresponds to the maximum operation amount and the maximum driving speed, is stored in a storage unit as a drive control characteristic and a drive control process in which, in response to operation of the operation unit, the actuator is driven at a driving speed corresponding to the operation amount specified by the drive control characteristic stored in the storage unit.
