ABSTRACT:
A battery powered lift truck of the sit-down type in which two main power source batteries are located in a stepped compartment so that the forward battery is supported at a lower elevation than the rear battery. The lower elevation of the forward battery enables relatively increased stability by lowering the center of gravity of the lift truck, while the higher elevation of the rear battery is effected by locating a horizontal counterweight in an elevated position above the rear steer axle and linkage and using it as the rear battery platform, whereby to effect a relatively short length truck with adequate stability and a relatively short turning radius. An overhead guard is relatively short in length which enables the direct installation and removal of both batteries without detaching or dismounting the guard from the truck.
