Flow control valve having pressure compensating valve

A forklift comprising:

• a flow control valve;
• a fork configured to lift a load;
• and
• an actuator configured to be connected between said flow control valve and said fork,
• wherein said flow control valve includes:
• a pressure compensating valve configured to enlarge an opening area of a variable orifice between a load pressure line and a compensating pressure line when a pressure of working fluid of said compensating pressure line is smaller than a first set pressure, and narrow said opening area of said variable orifice when said pressure of said working fluid of said compensating pressure line is larger than said first set pressure,
• a first switching valve configured to switch between a meter-out operation and a neutral operation by an external operation, wherein said working fluid of said compensating pressure line is drained in said meter-out operation, said working fluid of said compensating pressure line is not drained in said neutral operation, and
• wherein said load pressure line guides said working fluid to be supplied to said actuator.
