An engine compartment of a fork-lift truck has a noise-proof bottom plate for shielding the compartment bottom, and lateral intake air ports and passages for admitting outside air to the engine compartment, the incoming air being drawn over the walls of an hydraulic working oil tank mounted adjacent to the engine compartment, to continuously cool the oil within the tank. Introduction of the air through intake ports formed in the side of the truck body prevents entry of dust, splashing water and the like from the ground beneath the truck. The noise-proof bottom plate also serves to suppress noise emissions from the engine. A variety of air intake passage arrangements are described.
