A load handling vehicle equipped with a load handling device comprises a pair of reinforcing frames attached to opposite sides of the vehicle body, a steering panel, a front cover covering the space under the panel from the front and a protective device covering the operator's seat and including a pair of opposite front posts connected to the frames in front of the seat. Each of the front posts comprises a lower post member extending upright from the frame and positioned in the vicinity of of the front cover, and an upper post member removably attached to the lower post member. The steering panel and the front cover are attached to the pair of lower post members and can therefore be fixed in place by a simple arrangement and yet with increased strength. When unnecessary, the protective device is removable with the panel and the cover fixed in place.
