2. Description of the Related Art In a freight vehicle, a relatively large space is opened on both sides of the lower part of the luggage carrier because the distance between the lower surface of the luggage carrier and the road surface is large. Therefore, in the past, an accident in which a pedestrian was caught in this space occurred.Therefore, two or three parallel bars were installed between the driver's cab and the rear wheels to allow the pedestrian to move inside the space below the platform. Measures have been taken to prevent being caught in.

[0003]

However, even if the space on both sides of the lower part of the cargo bed is shielded by two or three bars, a wide space is still left open between these bars. There is a possibility that a pedestrian may get caught up in the bottom surface of the loading platform through the space between the bars only by installing such a bar, and in that sense, the space on both lower sides of the loading platform is shielded by two or three bars. It is hard to say that taking such measures will prevent accidents completely.

To solve such a problem, it is conceivable to shield the space on both sides of the lower part of the luggage carrier with a long panel plate having a predetermined width. However, depending on the type and size of the freight vehicle. Since the height of the bed and the road surface and the mounting position of the fuel tank are different, it is necessary to provide a panel plate of a size according to the specific vehicle type, and all existing freight vehicles are compatible with each vehicle type. There is a problem in that it is difficult to prepare and attach the panel plate from the viewpoint of cost.
