Swivel type working vehicle

A swivel type working vehicle comprising:

• a traveling device;
• a turntable mounted on said traveling device to be revolvable about a vertical axis;
• an engine disposed in a rear region of said turntable;
• a hydraulically actuated implement disposed in a front region of said turntable;
• hydraulic equipment disposed on one side region of said turntable;
• a rear hood covering said engine;
• a pivot device disposed in an upper front end region of said rear hood and having a pivot axis extending transversely of a vehicle body, said rear hood being pivotable by said pivot device between a closed position covering said engine and an open position exposing said engine;
• a side hood covering said hydraulic equipment;
• a pivot mechanism disposed in a lower front end region of said side hood and having a pivot axis extending transversely of the vehicle body, said side hood being pivotable by said pivot mechanism between a closed position covering said hydraulic equipment and an open position exposing said hydraulic equipment;
• and
• an arched support frame fixed to said turntable so as to straddle said engine, said pivot device being attached to said support frame.

A swivel type working vehicle comprising:

• a traveling device;
• a turntable mounted on said traveling device to be revolvable about a vertical axis, said turntable including a floor;
• an engine disposed in a rear region of said turntable;
• a hydraulically actuated implement disposed in a front region of said turntable;
• hydraulic equipment disposed on one side region of said turntable;
• a rear hood covering said engine;
• a pivot device disposed in an upper front end region of said rear hood and having a pivot axis extending transversely of a vehicle body, said rear hood being pivotable by said pivot device between a closed position covering said engine and an open position exposing said engine;
• a side hood covering said hydraulic equipment;
• and
• a pivot mechanism disposed on said turntable floor in a lower front end region of said side hood and having a pivot axis extending transversely of the vehicle body, said side hood being pivotable by said pivot mechanism between a closed position and an open position, and having an upper surface,
• wherein when said side hood is in its closed position, said upper surface extends from said upper front end region of said rear hood through to said turntable floor, for covering said hydraulic equipment, whereas when said side hood is in its open position, said side hood is pivoted upward about said pivot axis of said pivot mechanism, for exposing said hydraulic equipment, and
• said side hood includes a locking mechanism disposed in a rear region thereof for locking said side hood to said closed position, said lock means being accessible from outside when said rear hood is opened, and inaccessible from outside when said rear hood is closed.
