  • Patent number: 8033352
    Abstract: A battery-fixing device includes a frame member, a stopper and a lock arm. The frame member is formed in a body of the forklift and provided by a battery space where a battery case is placed. The frame member has a through hole. The stopper has a lock portion and a groove. The stopper is movable in the through hole. The lock arm is pivotally supported on the frame member so as to engage with or disengage from the lock portion. The engagement of the lock arm with the lock portion keeps the stopper projecting from the through hole toward the battery space so that the groove is engagable with the battery case. The disengagement of the lock arm from the lock portion allows the stopper to be pulled back into the through hole so that the groove is not engaged with the battery case.
