Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a footrest for a cargo handling vehicle, and for example, to a footrest for a cargo handling vehicle suitable for forming a step with a low ground clearance.

(Prior Art) Recently, in order to make it easy and safe for a driver to get on and off the vehicle, a step with a low ground clearance and a sufficient footing area has been formed on the vehicle body of a cargo handling vehicle.

For example, as a conventional cargo handling vehicle of this type,
The device described in Japanese Patent No. 22031 is known, and is shown in FIG. In Fig. 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a front fender in the shape of a cut-off corner that constitutes a tire house that covers the front wheel 2, and the front fender 1 has a tilt cylinder (not shown) for tilting a cargo handling mast (not shown). A support bracket 3 is attached to support the device in a swingable manner via a support bracket 3 and the like. This support bracket 3
At the back of the car is Step 4, which serves as a foothold for the driver to get on and off.
is formed, and the step 4 is attached to the side panel 5 by cutting out the side panel 5 and having a sufficient foothold area at a position where the ground clearance is lowered.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in such conventional cargo handling vehicles,
Since Step 4 was configured to reduce the space of the footrest, there was less space for the driver to place his feet during cargo handling operations.

That is, the driver used the side member of the vehicle as a place to rest his feet during cargo handling work, but since the step 4 was formed in this part, the place to rest his feet was reduced. For this reason, as the number of places to put one's feet decreases, the amount of the driver's feet to rest on the support bracket 3 increases, and muddy water on the driver's shoes adheres to the brackets, pins, etc. and causes rust. There was a problem in that it would get stuck and spoil the appearance.

Furthermore, if the driver steps out toward the front of the vehicle with his or her feet on the support bracket 3 to check the loading status of luggage, there is a risk that the driver's foot may slip on the support bracket 3.

(Purpose of the Invention) Therefore, the present invention prevents muddy water etc. from adhering to the support bracket etc. and rusting by covering the upper part of the support bracket with a soft rest member, and also prevents the driver from leaning toward the front side of the vehicle. The purpose is to secure a foothold during the construction and to keep the appearance intact.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the mattress for a cargo handling vehicle according to the present invention includes a tilt cylinder for tilting the mast that is swingably supported on the vehicle body via a support bracket, and The vehicle body is characterized by a step that serves as a foothold for the driver when getting on and off the vehicle, and a soft rest member that covers the upper part of the support bracket.

(Function) In the present invention, the upper part of the 5 support bracket is covered with a soft rest member. Therefore, mud and the like are prevented from directly adhering to the support bracket and the like and rust is generated, and a foothold for the driver to step forward of the vehicle is secured.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1.2 is a diagram showing a first embodiment of a foot/rest for a cargo handling vehicle according to the present invention.
