Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an industrial vehicle cab comprising a step lighting system, a body part of an industrial vehicle cab comprising a step lighting system, and an industrial vehicle comprising such a cab or such a body part.

[0002] The invention can be applied to a variety of industrial vehicles such as trucks, buses and construction equipment. Background technique

[0003] The cab of an industrial vehicle defines a driver's compartment, the floor of which is usually located at a relatively high position relative to the ground. Therefore, such cabs usually comprise steps arranged on the side walls of the cab for allowing the driver to climb up / down from the driver's compartment.

[0004] Using steps requires the driver to be careful, especially when it is dark, to avoid falls and injuries. To reduce the risk, the cab can be equipped with a lighting system to illuminate the steps. However, conventional lighting systems are not entirely satisf...

Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 A vehicle 1 is shown, more specifically an industrial vehicle. Although the invention will be described in relation to a truck, the invention is not limited to this particular vehicle, but may also be used in other vehicles, such as buses.

[0046] Vehicle 1 includes a body frame 2 supported by front wheels 3 and rear wheels 4 , and a cab 5 . The vehicle 1 may also include a cargo box (not shown). Z is defined as the vertical direction, X is defined as the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1 , and Y is defined as the lateral direction of the vehicle 1 .

[0047]The cab 5 has a front wall 6 and two side walls 7 . The cab 5 defines a driver's compartment 8 with a floor 9 and includes an opening 10 for access to the driver's compartment 8, as Figure 7 shown in . Since the floor 9 is located at a relatively high level above the ground, the cab 5 includes steps 11 arranged on the side walls 7 for allowing the driver to climb up or down from the driver's co...
