Abstract
The guard member is a guard member that protects the front of a payload located under the floor of the vehicle. The guard member has a first oblique side inclined so as to extend downward from the front side toward the rear side of the vehicle, and a second oblique side inclined so as to extend laterally from the front side toward the rear side of the vehicle. When an angle between a horizontal straight line along a front-rear direction of the vehicle and the first oblique side is an angle α, and an angle between the straight line and the second oblique side is an angle β, a relationship of the angle α>the angle β is satisfied.
