A steering handle of a pallet truck is arranged over a battery box on the truck. The steering handle is journaled so that it is in a turnable relation to an arm about a journaling point. The arm is journaled so that it is pivotable around a second pivot point. By pivoting the arm laterally a position may be achieved where the handle is easily accessible from the side of the truck. The steering handle is pivotably arranged in the outer end of the arm in a pivot bearing that in turn is pivotable in the arm and parallel controlled in relation to the truck. Between the steering handle and the journal for the pivot movement detection means are arranged to detect the mutual turning that is then used to electronically/electrically turn the steered wheel of the truck.
