Abstract
Contemplated are cost reduction and enhanced readiness of parts management related to right and left fenders. A work vehicle includes right and left fenders (16) each having a vertical plate member (18) covering an inner face of a traveling device from an inner side of a vehicle body and a top plate member (19) covering an upper portion of the traveling device (5) from above, wherein the top plate member (19) is configured to be front-rear symmetric, and each of the vertical plate member (18) and the top plate member (19) is configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member.
Claims11
A work vehicle including right and left fenders, each of the fenders comprising a vertical plate member positioned between an inner face of a traveling device and an inner side of a vehicle body, and a top plate member that covers an upper portion of the traveling device from above;
- and
- a support bracket for supporting the vertical plate member, the support bracket being a right-left interchangeable member having a front-rear symmetric shape,
- wherein the top plate member is configured to be front-rear symmetric, and each of the vertical plate member and the top plate member is configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member,
- wherein each of the right and left fenders includes a front side cover member for covering a front side of the traveling device;
- and the front side cover member is configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member having a vertically symmetric shape, and
- wherein the support bracket includes, in a front-rear symmetric layout, a left connecting portion for disposing the vertical plate member with an offset to one front/rear side relative to a front-rear center of the support bracket, and a right connecting portion for disposing the vertical plate member with an offset to the other front/rear side relative to the front-rear center of the support bracket.
A work vehicle including right and left fenders, each of the fenders comprising a vertical plate member positioned between an inner face of a traveling device and an inner side of a vehicle body, and a top plate member that covers an upper portion of the traveling device from above;
- and
- a support bracket for supporting the vertical plate member, the support bracket being a right-left interchangeable member having a front-rear symmetric shape,
- wherein the top plate member is configured to be front-rear symmetric, and each of the vertical plate member and the top plate member is configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member,
- wherein each of the right and left fenders includes a front side cover member for covering a front side of the traveling device;
- and the front side cover member is configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member having a vertically symmetric shape,
- wherein the top plate member includes a connecting arm to be connected to the support bracket;
- and
- wherein the vertical plate member and the connecting arm are connected and fastened together to the support bracket.
A work vehicle comprising:
- a steering frame disposed erect at a position in a vehicle body frame which position is forwardly of a driver's seat;
- and
- a lower cover to be attached to the steering frame for covering the steering frame from behind;
- wherein the lower cover includes a footrest member to be used by a driver seated in the driver's seat,
- wherein the work vehicle further comprises an operational pedal that is provided on a lateral side of the steering frame, and
- wherein the footrest member is configured such that a height position of a footrest face thereof is higher than a height position of a step-on face of the operational pedal, and a rear end position of the footrest face is located more rearward than a rear end position of the step-on face.
A work vehicle comprising right and left fenders, each of the fenders having a vertical plate member that covers an inner face of a traveling device from an inner side of a vehicle body, and a top plate member that covers an upper portion of the traveling device from above;
- wherein the top plate member is configured to be front-rear symmetric, and each of the vertical plate member and the top plate member are configured to act as a right-left interchangeable member;
