The link is connected to form a chain 7, and the hydraulic pipe is connected along the chain 7. When the roof does not rise, the chain 7 is U-shaped and the hydraulic pipe is stored in the front wall 6. Then, when the roof rises, the chain 7 changes its shape into a semicircle and sends it upward while protecting the piping.

[0006]

However, when the space inside the column is used as shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the column is narrow, and storage and arrangement are not easy. Hydraulic piping is flexible, but if it is folded and stored in a narrow column, it bends the curved part, and the bending force is repeatedly applied to the curved part every time the roof moves up and down. Deterioration and poor durability.

As shown in FIG. 3, if the pipes are arranged along the chain and stored in the front wall when the roof does not rise, the above problem does not occur. However, the chain and the pipes can be stored in the front wall. Must be formed. if,
If the front wall does not have such a structure from the beginning, such pipes cannot be stored.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide hydraulic piping, wiring, and the like which are passed from the fixed portion to the movable portion in a vehicle including a fixed portion such as a loading platform and a movable portion such as a roof that moves up and down from the loading platform. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage device for storing a line in accordance with movement of a roof.
