ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a mounting arrangement (42) for connecting a control panel assembly (18) to an operators station (10) of a vehicle (12) which solves the problems of improper control panel location, poor visibility, operator discomfort, and poor accessibility. The mounting arrangement (42) connects a lower end portion (20) of the control panel assembly (18) to the operators station (10) at a location adjacent a steering wheel assembly (16) and a seat assembly (14) and permits universal pivotal movement of the control panel assembly to a selected one of a plurality of locations relative to the steering wheel and seat assemblies (16) and (14). Thus, the problems of improper location, poor visibility, operator discomfort, and poor accessibility are eliminated. The mounting arrangement is particularly useful to connect the control panel assembly (18) to the floor (44) of a lift truck.
