According to the present invention, the lighting device has a substantially U-shaped lower part, a substantially horizontal upper part, and a bent portion connecting one end of the lower part and the upper part in a U-shape. A mounting bracket, and an illuminating lamp attached to a portion of the upper portion of the illuminating lamp mounting bracket spaced apart from the one end so as to be positioned above the illuminating lamp.
The illumination lamp mounting bracket is arranged such that the bent portion is arranged at a position along the outermost edge of the ceiling portion so that the peripheral portion of the roof body can be received through the U-shaped opening. The other end of the lower portion is detachably fixed to the crosspiece of the ceiling portion. In addition, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rain gutter groove is formed in the peripheral portion of the roof body and is inserted between the upper portion and the lower portion of the lighting fixture bracket. A recess is formed in the lower part of the peripheral edge at a position corresponding to the portion.

[Action]

The substantially U-shaped illumination lamp mounting bracket has its bent portion arranged at a position along the outermost edge of the ceiling portion of the forklift, and is attached to the crosspiece of the ceiling portion at the lower portion. Also,
The illuminating lamp is located above the upper part of the illuminating lamp mounting bracket.
It is attached at a position apart from the bent portion. Therefore, the U-shaped opening portion is directed inward of the ceiling portion, the roof body is inserted into the illumination lamp mounting bracket regardless of the illumination lamp or the bent portion, and the illumination lamp does not interfere with the mast. When the roof body is provided with a rain gutter groove in the peripheral portion in order to improve drainage on the upper surface, the peripheral portion is inevitably thick, but in the preferred embodiment, the peripheral portion of the roof body is not formed. Since the recess is formed in the portion to be inserted into the illumination lamp mounting bracket, insertion is easy even with a roof body having a thick peripheral edge portion.
