An industrial vehicle including an engine, a drive wheel, and a power transmission mechanism that transmits power of the engine to the drive wheel wherein the power transmitted through the power transmission mechanism causes creeping of the vehicle, the industrial vehicle comprising: a control unit that controls an engine speed of the engine; and a vehicle speed detection unit that detects a vehicle speed of the vehicle, wherein the control unit controls the engine speed at a first engine speed when the vehicle is in a non-traveling state, and when the vehicle speed has exceeded a predetermined vehicle speed due to a transition to a state of power transmission in which the power of the engine is transmitted to the drive wheel, the control unit controls the engine speed at a second engine speed that is lower than the first engine speed, and the second engine speed is set to generate a desired creeping speed.
