ABSTRACT:
A work vehicle having a frame defining a compartment for receiving vehicle components has a compartment closure arrangement which permits ease of access and adequate opening for servicing of the components. The compartment closure arrangement includes a cowl member which is pivotal in a first direction from a first position to a second position, a lid member which is pivotal in a second direction opposite the first direction from a first position to a second position, and a floor member which is pivotal between a first compartment covering position and a second compartment uncovering position. The compartment closure arrangement is particularly suited for use on a material handling vehicle.
