ABSTRACT:
A truck described herein comprises a loading table mounted on a body frame of said truck in such manner that said loading table may move in the forward direction along said body frame when an impact force larger than a predetermined value is applied to a vehicle body of said truck. An energy absorber means is interposed between said body frame and said loading table for absorbing the kinetic energy possessed by said loading table. In one aspect of the invention, the truck also comprises a stopper mounted on said body frame to limit the forward motion of said loading table along said body frame, the stopper also including separate energy absorber means for absorbing the kinetic energy of said loading table. Each of said energy absorber means consists of a member which absorbs the kinetic energy through friction, elastic deformation, plastic deformation, or through their combined effect.
