Abstract

A swing type working vehicle, wherein a space at the foot portion of an operator can be increased when pedal operation is not required. A step is installed on the front part of a swing table frame, and pedals for operating hydraulic actuators are disposed on the step. The base parts of the pedals are supported so that these pedals can be swung forward and backward. When the pedals are swung backward, they are brought into contact with the operating members of the hydraulic actuators to disable the operation, and when the pedals are swung forward, they are held in the state of being brought into contact with the step.

Claims (9)

1. A working vehicle comprising:

a swing table frame;

front and rear steps arranged on a front part of the swing table frame wherein the front step is higher than the rear step so that the front step has a rising rear end portion which rises from a front end portion of the rear step; and

a pedal for operating a hydraulic actuator, wherein the pedal is formed at one end portion thereof with a base part, and is formed at the other end portion thereof with a foot-contact part whose opposite surfaces serve as foot-contact surfaces,

wherein the pedal is pivotally supported at the base part thereof so as to be able to swing the foot-contact part forward and backward,

wherein, when the pedal is swung so as to swing the foot-contact part backward, one of the foot-contact surfaces faces upward so as to have an operator's foot thereon for pedaling, and the foot-contact part is placed over the rear step and is brought into contact with an operating member of the hydraulic actuator to enable the operation of the hydraulic actuator, and

wherein, when the pedal is swung so as to swing the foot-contact part forward, the other of the foot-contact surfaces faces upward to serve as a footrest, and the pedal is held so that the foot-contact part is not in contact with the operation member and is in contact with the step, so as to disable the operation of the hydraulic actuator.

2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the pedal is to entirely formed in an L-shape in side view by bending a portion thereof between the base part and the foot-contact part so that the L-shape of the pedal conforms to the shape of the rising rear end portion of the front step.

3. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an option switch is arranged on the front step so as to be covered with the foot-contact part arranged thereabove when the foot-contact part of the pedal is swung forward.
