ABSTRACT:
An industrial truck has an overhead guard made in two parts 7,8. The rear part 8 of the overhead guard is pivotable about the rear end of the truck to provide access to the vehicle battery box 4 from above so that the battery box can be lifted out from above via lifting eyes 14 to enable the batteries to be recharged. The battery 4 has a cover 5 which must also be pivoted to permit removal of the battery box. The battery box 4 is located against horizontal movement in the truck. In accordance with the invention, the battery box 4 has a projecting lug (not shown) which co-operates with the rear part of the overhead guard such as to prevent vertical movement of the battery box when the overhead guard is closed. Consequently, when the overhead guard is operative (that is, in its closed position), the battery box is positively located against movement relative to the truck in all directions and cannot fall out if the truck overturns.
