Abstract: An engine exhaust system is accommodated in a counterweight portion without reducing either the efficiency of cooling by a radiator or the efficiency of purifying exhaust gas by an exhaust gas purification device. A body has a work device provided at the front and the counterweight portion at the rear. A ventilation path provided in the counterweight portion includes an elevated part formed between a bottom of a front portion and a bottom of a rear portion. The purification device and a muffler are disposed in the rear portion of the ventilation path so as to be positioned one above the other with the purification device lying above the muffler and having an upper portion protruding above the bottom of the front portion of the ventilation path. A windbreak plate made from a heat insulating material is disposed forward from the purification device so as to face the latter.

Abstract: A control device includes a specifying unit that specifies one of a plurality of detection objects on the basis of a state of an industrial vehicle when the plurality of detection objects are detected around the industrial vehicle, and a control unit that causes a notification to be performed for the one detection object specified by the specifying unit in an aspect different from those of other detected detection objects.

Abstract: Provided is a stand-up riding type cargo handling vehicle capable of reliably preventing traveling with the foot of an operator kept protruding outside a vehicle. The stand-up riding type cargo handling vehicle includes a boarding floor which an operator boards; a first foot pedal and a second foot pedal that are provided on the boarding floor, and a control unit that is connected to the first and second foot pedals. The first foot pedal is disposed at a position corresponding to the left foot of the operator who gets aboard facing forward; the second foot pedal is disposed at a position corresponding to the right foot of the operator who gets aboard facing forward, and is divided into a front foot pedal and a rear foot pedal in a forward/backward direction; and the front and rear foot pedals are separated by a predetermined amount in the forward/backward direction.

Abstract: A battery lock device for a forklift includes a lock plate capable of moving between a first position and a second position. The lock plate at the first position is configured to keep a battery from being protruded. The lock plate at the second position is configured to enable the battery to be protruded. The battery lock device includes a shaft configured to rotatably support the lock plate with respect to a body, a fixed portion opposed to the lock plate, a lock pin capable of sliding toward the fixed portion in a first direction and away from the fixed portion in a second direction, and a spring configured to press the lock pin in the first direction. First and second holes are provided in the fixed portion. The lock pin is inserted into the first and second holes.

Abstract: A forklift includes forks, cylinders for causing the forks to perform an ascending/descending operation in accordance with the flow rate of hydraulic oil, a first valve for controlling the flow rate of the hydraulic oil in accordance with an energizing current, a second valve 6 for regulating the flow rate of the hydraulic oil in accordance with cylinder pressure, and a control portion that calculates the flow rate to be regulated by the second valve, on the basis of cylinder pressure detected by a pressure sensor, calculates a current command value for the energizing current, with the flow rate to be controlled by the first valve being set equal to the regulated flow rate, and changes the energizing current in two stages, with the current command value as the upper limit of the energizing current, thereby decelerating the forks in two stages when stopping the ascending/descending operation.

Abstract: Provided is a stand-up riding type cargo handling vehicle capable of reliably preventing traveling with the foot of an operator kept protruding outside a vehicle. The stand-up riding type cargo handling vehicle includes a boarding floor which an operator boards; a first foot pedal and a second foot pedal that are provided on the boarding floor, and a control unit that is connected to the first and second foot pedals. The first foot pedal is disposed at a position corresponding to the left foot of the operator who gets aboard facing forward; the second foot pedal is disposed at a position corresponding to the right foot of the operator who gets aboard facing forward, and is divided into a front foot pedal and a rear foot pedal in a forward/backward direction; and the front and rear foot pedals are separated by a predetermined amount in the forward/backward direction.

Abstract: An industrial vehicle includes a vehicle body, a pair of right and left front pillars provided in the front portion of the vehicle body, and a headlight provided on the front pillar. The headlight is provided with a light and a bracket to which the light is attached. The bracket has an attachment plate and a protective frame formed in the front portion of the attachment plate. The protective frame has a vertical frame and a first horizontal frame and a second horizontal frame shorter than the vertical frame.

Abstract: A battery electric counterbalanced forklift reliably prevents rainwater from entering an electrical part compartment in a counterweight and also allows a battery cover attachment task to be performed more readily than conventionally. The forklift includes a body frame forming a battery compartment within a vehicle body, an openable battery cover closing the battery compartment, a counterweight disposed adjacently behind the body frame, a hinge rotatably joining the body frame and the battery cover, and an inner cover disposed so as to extend widthwise beyond a boundary between the body frame and the counterweight. The inner cover and the hinge are fastened together to the body frame at a portion forming the boundary.

Abstract: An industrial vehicle includes a holding portion for holding a load, a raising/lowering portion for raising/lowering the holding portion, a control valve for controlling the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to or discharged from the raising/lowering portion, and a control device for supplying an energizing current to the control valve. The control device includes a speed calculation unit for calculating first and second speed command values for an ascending/descending speed, a current calculation unit for calculating first and second current command values for the energizing current, and a current supply portion for supplying first and second energizing currents to the control valve, thereby offsetting a first vibration generated in the load upon start of supplying the first energizing current, by a second vibration generated in the load upon start of supplying the second energizing current.

Abstract: An industrial vehicle includes a vehicle body, a head guard provided in the upper portion of the vehicle body, and a lighting device provided on the head guard and illuminating a space in front of the vehicle body. The lighting device is provided with a light illuminating the space in front of the vehicle body and brackets removably attached to a pipe of the head guard. The light is attached to the bracket so as to be positioned below the pipe and positioned beside or behind a front pillar of the head guard.

Abstract: An in-vehicle holder accommodates a mobile electronic device, along with a beverage cup. The device is readily viewed by a driver during charging. The holder includes first and second bottom plates, first and second sidewalls extending upward from edges of the bottom plates, and a device port on the second sidewall. The second plate is lower than, and connected to, the first plate via a stepped portion extending in a front/rear direction, and has a left edge connected to the stepped portion, an opposite right edge, a front-side edge, and an opposite back-side edge. The right edge and the front-side edge intersect in a corner raised by an elevated portion by the same amount as a level difference provided by the stepped portion. The second sidewall has a part slanting toward a back side with increasing height and is provided with the port.
