PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a decrease in work efficiency. A work vehicle according to an embodiment is provided on a traveling vehicle body, a work machine that is mounted on a rear portion of the traveling vehicle body so as to be able to move up and down, a control unit that controls lifting and lowering of the working machine, and a rear portion of the traveling vehicle body. The vehicle includes a rear sensor that detects an object existing behind the traveling vehicle body, and the control unit stops the detection by the rear sensor when the traveling vehicle body is moving forward.
