The motor compartment of a fork lift truck is modified so that the operator's feet extend into the space normally required by the motor compartment. A motor support structure (430) is installed between the traction motor (410) and the gear box (440) which is connected to the steerable, powered wheel (25). The motor support structure occupies a smaller space than the traction motor itself, thus inc...
