A personnel carrying vehicle comprising a self propelled, steerable body (10), a telescoping mast (30) attached to and extending upwardly from said body, and a personnel compartment (40) attached to the mast and provided with a rail member (42) that extends from the mast and around the sides. A pair of gate members (43,44), which are pivotally attached to the rail member and to the floor of the compartment, are movable from a closed position to an open position wherein said gate members extend into the compartment. The mast extends upwardly and forwardly of the body at an angle of approximately five degrees to the top of the rail. Control handles are mounted within the personnel compartment, with one handle (70) controlling steering and the other handle controlling traction (80). Sensors (LHS,RHS) ensure the operator's hands are on both control handles and both feet are properly positioned on the floor before the vehicle can be moved or the platform raised. |
