A vehicle height adjustment device for a transportation vehicle with air suspensions for front and rear wheels (1 and 2), respectively, has vehicle front and rear height sensors (9 and 10) for measuring the vehicle front and rear heights, respectively, vehicle front and rear height adjustment valves (13 and 14) for controlling supply and discharge of working air to and from the air springs (4 and 8) for the front and rear wheels (1 and 2), respectively, a controller (15) for outputting control signals (13a and 14a) to the vehicle front and rear height adjustment valves (13 and 14) while checking detection signals (9a and 10a) from the sensors (9 and 10), respectively, so that a rear end height of and a tilt of a vehicle bed (12) may be adjusted into targeted values and an input unit (16) for inputting the targeted values to the controller (15). The rear end height of and the tilt of the vehicle bed (12) are quickly adjusted as desired only by inputting the targeted values.
