Hydraulic control device for machinery

Provided is a hydraulic control device for machinery that performs cutoff control during necessary operations even when the hydraulic pump discharge pressure exceeds a cutoff pressure. The hydraulic control device is provided with: a variable capacity hydraulic pump (10); an actuator driven by pressure oil; an operation device for switching directional control valves; a tilt control unit (29) for controlling the tilt of the variable capacity hydraulic pump (10); control input-detecting units (24, 25) for detecting the control input of the operation device; and a control device (100) for acquiring the control input from the control input-detecting units (24, 25), calculating the target cutoff pressure according to the control input, calculating the amount of tilt of the variable capacity hydraulic pump (10) on the basis of the calculated target cutoff pressure, and outputting the calculated amount of tilt of the variable capacity hydraulic pump (10) to the tilt control unit (29).
