An utility vehicle includes a chassis; a ROPS that surrounds a riding space; a cargo bed that is disposed behind the riding space and is pivotably supported by a pivot of the chassis so as to be movable up and down between a normal position at which a front portion of the cargo bed is not lifted and is supported on the chassis and a dumping position at which the front portion of the cargo bed is lifted; and a pair of left and right cargo bed support portions that are attached to the ROPS, extend backward, and support side portions of the front portion of the cargo bed at the normal position from below.

In one embodiment, a utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members configured to contact a ground surface, and a powertrain assembly operably coupled to the ground-engaging members. The utility vehicle also includes a frame supported by the ground-engaging members and extending along a longitudinal axis of the utility vehicle. The utility vehicle further includes a tunnel member coupled to the frame and extending along the longitudinal axis. The tunnel member is positioned at a first height from the ground surface. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes a cargo portion supported by the frame and positioned generally rearward of the tunnel member. The cargo portion has a cargo surface substantially aligned with the tunnel member and positioned at a second height from the ground surface. The first height is approximately equal to the second height.

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame assembly, a cab frame assembly, a front suspension assembly, a rear suspension assembly, a power steering assembly, and a powertrain assembly, all of which may be configured to lower the center of gravity of the vehicle.

An industrial vehicle sun protector for the protection of an operator located in the cabin of an industrial vehicle, comprising: a mounting arrangement configured to be installed in the cabin of an industrial vehicle, and a rigid shade member for obstructing the passage of sun rays therethrough, the shade member being pivotably connected to the mounting arrangement such that the shade member is pivotable between a stored position and different selectable deployed positions, wherein adjustment from one of the deployed positions to another one of the deployed positions allows for protecting the operator from sun rays at different positions of the sun, wherein a pivoting of the shade member from the stored position to any one of the different selectable deployed positions results in an angular displacement of the shade member greater than 90?.

A wheel loader comprises a console box and a support component. The console box is disposed on the side of an operator's seat and is able to rotate in the forward and backward direction. The support component has a rotary shaft disposed in the left and right direction under the console box, and rotatably supports the console box around the rotary shaft between an operation position in which the console box is disposed horizontally and a retracted position in which the console box is rotated rearward from the operation position and is disposed at an angle. The location of the center of gravity of the console box is disposed more to the front than the rotary shaft at the operation position, and more to the rear than the rotary shaft at the retracted position.

A downdraft fan assembly mountable on a vehicle roll bar, which may be used for providing a flow of ambient air over the vehicle operator, and a canopy carried by the fan assembly, which may be used for providing solar and precipitation protection for the operator. The downdraft fan may draw air through a roof cap with a rear-facing outlet, or may draw air through a series of vents disposed around the canopy of the assembly, or through some combination of the two, such as may be desired. In some variations, multiple openings may be provided in the roof, if desired.
