ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank mount for a forklift truck is adapted to mount the fuel tank on a counterweight in a manner that the fuel tank can be removed from an in-use position to an out-of-use position assuring an obstacle-free opening of a hood. The fuel tank mount includes a fixed plate attached to the counterweight; a pair of spaced-apart, parallel guide rails secured to the fixed plate to extend in a lengthwise direction of the forklift truck, each of the guide rails having a slot which runs substantially over a full length thereof; a movable plate supporting the fuel tank thereon, the movable plate provided with a pair of legs slidably fitted into the slot of the guide rails, the movable plate capable of sliding movement with respect to the fixed plate between a first position corresponding to the in-use position of the fuel tank and a second position corresponding to the out-of-use position; and a lock mechanism for releasably locking the movable plate in the first position against relative sliding movement to the fixed plate.
