A high-lift materials handling vehicle of the kind which comprises a wheel-mounted chassis (11), a chassis-mounted lifting mast (12), a chassis-mounted driving seat assembly (17) which is positioned transversely to the direction in which the vehicle is driven and which includes a seat (20) and a backrest (21). A load handling carrier (15) is movable along the lifting mast and can be manoeuvered from the driving seat assembly (17) for loading and offloading purposes. The vehicle further includes means for adjusting the position of the backrest (21) of the seat assembly (17) between different positions relative to the vehicle chassis (11), between a normal vehicle driving position and a rearwardly tilted position for handling loads at high heights. The backrest adjusting means will preferably include means which cause the seat (20) of the seat assembly (17) to ove horizontally as the backrest (21) is tilted. <IMAGE> |
