ABSTRACT:
A frame structure is provided for an industrial vehicle to protect an engine from an external impact as well as to facilitate a maintenance workability with respect to the engine. In the frame structure for the industrial vehicle, a planar base plate is provided, which is connected to rear portions of side frames elongated in parallel to a front-to-rear direction and which is elongated rearwardly, so that a vertical load acting on a rear axle is received by the base plate. An engine is mounted on the base plate, and the rear end portion of the base plate is connected to the rear end upper portions of the side frames through a rear member constructed by rod-like members and disposed to surround the rear surface and side surfaces of the engine. The vibrations of the engine is absorbed by the elastic deflection of the base plate and the elastic deformation of the rear tires.
