The invention relates to a protection device (9) for the floor (8) of a vehicle cab (2), device comprising at least one armour plate (10) that is arranged at a distance from the cab floor (8) and which is connected to the latter by deformable linking means. In this device at least one of the deformable linking means is constituted by a compartmented caisson (11), that is fastened to the cab (2) on a substantially vertical lateral partition (2a, 2b) of the latter, the compartmented caisson (11) comprising at least two walls (12a, 12b) that are substantially perpendicular to the armour plate (10) and which are integral firstly with a lower wall (14) on which the armour plate (10) presses and secondly with an upper wall (13) which presses on the cab (2), the walls (12a, 12b) having dimensions such that they buckle on impact.
