Inching control system

A materials handling vehicle control system comprising:

• a memory storing executable instructions;
• a processor in communication with the memory;
• a brake control device input sensor configured to generate a brake control device input to be received by the processor to control vehicle braking;
• execution of the executable instructions by the processor causes the processor to:
• determine a maximum pre-setpoint vehicle speed to be a first value equal to a maximum speed of the vehicle when the brake control device input is zero, determine the maximum pre-setpoint speed to be a second value less than the first value when the brake control device input is at a value greater than zero and less than a predefined brake control device input value, and determine the maximum pre-setpoint speed to be a third value equal to zero when the brake control device input is equal to or greater than the predefined brake control input value.
