1. An obstacle notification device for an industrial vehicle, the obstacle notification device comprising:
an obstacle detection unit configured to detect a positional relationship between the industrial vehicle and an obstacle in a start restriction area that extends rearward with respect to a rear of the industrial vehicle;
a tire angle sensor configured to detect a steered angle of a steered wheel of the industrial vehicle;
a display unit; and
processing circuitry, wherein
the processing circuitry is configured to
determine an expected travel area of the industrial vehicle based on a detection result of the tire angle sensor;
display, on the display unit, an image for notifying an operator of the presence of the obstacle, and
execute at least one of restriction of traveling of the industrial vehicle from a stopped state and issuing a warning, when the obstacle is a causal obstacle meeting a specific condition of being located in both the expected travel area and the start restriction area, and
the processing circuitry is further configured to
display a first image on the display unit when notifying the operator of the presence of the obstacle different from the causal obstacle, wherein the obstacle different from the causal obstacle is located in the start restriction area without being located in the expected travel area, and
display a second image that is different from the first image on the display unit when notifying the operator of the presence of the causal obstacle.
