ABSTRACT:
A seat arrangement of a forklift truck includes a hood for covering an engine, a seat mounted on the hood, a seat slide mechanism and a supporting member. A seat cushion of the seat is pivotally secured at its front end portion to an upper rail of the seat slide mechanism. The supporting member has a first end which is pivotally secured to an upper surface of the hood and a second end which is engageable with an engaging portion of the seat. When it is necessary to open the hood, the seat positioned at a certain position in a fore-and-aft direction is swung forwardly, then the second end of the supporting member is brought into engagement with the engaging portion of the seat to keep the seat at a certain angle defined between a bottom surface of the seat cushion and the upper surface of the hood, and then the hood is opened. As the seat is positioned more forward through the seat slide mechanism, the certain angle decreases so that the seat is prevented from abutment with a LP-gas cylinder and a head guard of the forklift truck when the hood is opened.
