Step of industrial vehicle and industrial vehicle
A step of an industrial vehicle according to the present invention includes: an upper footboard fixed to a side surface of the industrial vehicle; a turning mechanism provided at a rear side of the upper footboard; a front suspension member extending downward from a front portion of the upper footboard and having elasticity; a rear suspension member extending downward from the turning mechanism and having elasticity; and a lower footboard held by the front suspension member and the rear suspension member, wherein: an upper portion of the front suspension member is fixed to the front portion of the upper footboard so as to be non-turnable; a lower portion of the front suspension member is fixed to a front portion of the lower footboard so as to be non-turnable; a lower portion of the rear suspension member is fixed to a rear portion of the lower footboard so as to be non-turnable; and an upper portion of the rear suspension member is coupled to a rear portion of the upper footboard through the turning mechanism so as to be turnable around an axis extending in a vehicle width direction.
1. A step of an industrial vehicle,
the step comprising:
an upper footboard fixed to a side surface of the industrial vehicle;
a turning mechanism provided at a rear end of the upper footboard;
a front suspension member extending downward from a front portion of the upper footboard and having elasticity;
a rear suspension member extending downward from the turning mechanism and having elasticity; and
a lower footboard held by the front suspension member and the rear suspension member, wherein:
an upper portion of the front suspension member is fixed to the front portion of the upper footboard so as to be non-turnable;
a lower portion of the front suspension member is fixed to a front portion of the lower footboard so as to be non-turnable;
a lower portion of the rear suspension member is fixed to a rear portion of the lower footboard so as to be non-turnable; and
an upper portion of the rear suspension member is coupled to a rear portion of the upper footboard through the turning mechanism so as to be turnable around an axis extending in a vehicle width direction.
2. The step according to claim 1 , wherein the turning mechanism includes:
a turning member to which the rear suspension member is fixed;
a shaft member supporting the turning member such that the turning member is turnable;
a shaft receiving member fixed to the upper footboard and including at least two receiving portions receiving the shaft member; and
a tubular protective member located between the two receiving portions and covering the shaft member with a predetermined gap in a radial direction.
3. The step according to claim 1 , wherein the turning mechanism includes a stopper portion configured to restrict forward turning of the rear suspension member.
4. The step according to claim 2 , wherein the turning mechanism includes a stopper portion configured to restrict forward turning of the rear suspension member.
