Abstract
A vehicle frame structure includes a pair of side members located on both right and left sides of a vehicle, each of the pair of side members extending both forward and rearward of a cabin along a respective side of the cabin. As each of the pair of side members extends in a longitudinal direction at a substantially uniform height, a load applied to one end can be transferred toward the other end.
