It is conceivable to provide a pedestal for exclusive use of feet on the upper surface of this cover, but it must be formed in a complicated uneven shape in order to match the pedestal with the shape of the foot. Further, it is conceivable that the pedestal of the foot is formed as a separate body and attached to the cover, but the appearance is not good and the cost is high.

The thing described in the 001-171990 publication is known. This is not a type of forklift in which the fender members and step members that form the frame are visible from the outside of the side, but an electric three-wheel forklift that uses a battery. Therefore, two pedals, an accelerator and a brake, are provided on the right side of the steering device as pedals operated by depressing with the right foot, and pedals operated by the left foot are not provided. Further, a bulging portion is provided on the cover covering the driving operation portion, and a foot inserting recess portion is formed in the bulging portion. However, it is difficult for the foot to enter the recessed portion unless the knees of the foot are pulled forward and the heel is pulled backward, and the state of the forward leaning posture is not maintained.
In addition, since there is no recessed portion for placing the foot on the heel of the foot or the position of the front foot portion of the foot, the foot is slippery.

See and hide. Also, because the footrest is integrally formed on the lower end of the side inner wall surface,
The driver can put his / her foot on the footrest and maintain a posture in which the outside of the foot is in contact with the side inner wall surface. Therefore, it is possible to drive in a stable and comfortable posture without slipping the legs. Further, since the feet are not placed on the cover, it is possible to avoid the cover from being soiled or damaged. Further, since the footrest is formed integrally with the cover, the appearance is good and the cost can be reduced.

With the foot 28 facing inward, the pedal 18 is depressed with the front foot portion 28a of the sole, and the heel 28b is depressed until it contacts the inclined surface 13B of the footrest 13A having the inclination angle α shown in FIG. 6B. The depression amount h1 is a position at which the traveling system (driving) pressure oil that has been supplied to the automatic transmission is gradually narrowed to reduce the driving force of the torque converter. Further depression, when the maximum depression amount h2 is reached, the supply of pressure oil is stopped and the driving force of the torque converter becomes zero. This means that the heel 28b is placed on the inclined surface 13B of the footrest 13A, and the pedal 1
By finely adjusting the depression amount h2 of 8, it is possible to control the driving force of the torque converter, and it is possible to perform fine traveling or slight traveling.

Depress the pedal with a, and the heel 28b is the footrest 13A.
Depress until it touches the inclined surface 13B (stepping amount h1). With the heel 28b resting on the inclined surface 13B of the footrest 13A, further depress the pedal with the front foot portion 28a of the foot,
When the maximum depression amount h2 is reached, the clutch that does not transmit the power of the engine to the drive wheels (not shown) is disengaged. At this point, the shift is started by the known shift change means, but while the pedal which has been depressed the maximum amount is returned, the depression amount h2 of the pedal 18 is finely adjusted by the front foot portion 28a of the foot, and the clutch slips in the half clutch state. While being able to convey the power little by little. As a result, it becomes possible to perform fine traveling or slight traveling.

えも良く、コストも低減できる。According to the invention of claim 1, since the bottom portion of the tilt cylinder can be covered with the cover with the footrest, it can be hidden from the cab. Further, since the footrest is integrally formed at the lower end of the side inner wall surface, the driver can place the left foot on the footrest and maintain the posture in which the outside of the foot is in contact with the side inner wall surface. Therefore, it is possible to drive in a stable and comfortable posture without slipping the legs. Further, since the feet are not placed on the cover, it is possible to avoid the cover from being soiled or damaged. Further, since the footrest is formed integrally with the cover, the appearance is good and the cost can be reduced.

より一層向上する。According to a second aspect of the present invention, the front end edge of the outer side wall surface of the cover is brought into contact with the side cover erected on the fender member so that the outer side wall surface is substantially flush with the side surface of the side cover. If the rear lower edge of the central wall surface of the cover extends to the front end of the step member that constitutes the frame of the vehicle body, a gap is created between the front edge of the side outer wall and the side cover. Since it is not present, the bottom part of the tilt cylinder is hidden when viewed from the outside of the side part. Further, the outer side wall surface of the cover and the side surface of the side cover can be integrally seen, and the appearance can be improved. Furthermore, since the welded portion of the joint portion between the fender member and the side inner plate member is hidden, the appearance is further improved.
