The invention concerns rotary control device for remote control of a moving vehicle, particularly a civil engineering works vehicle, an agricultural implement or a goods handling vehicle comprising two parts rotatably mobile relative to one another about an axis (A) and formed of a body (2) intended to be fixed to the handle of the remote control and an actuating part (6), the device also comprising first elastic means (13) including a winding (14) and two mobile branches (15, 16), the first actuating part being immobilized, in a position of equilibrium (P), with respect to a first member (2, 6). The device further comprises second elastic means (22) supported, on a mobile branch (15, 16) of the first elastic means (13) and, designed, in the position of equilibrium, to bear against a support portion (24) of the second member (2, 6).
