PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a battery type cargo handling vehicle allowing easy visual observation of insertion holes formed in the outer surface of a vehicle body, and allowing easy insertion of a part of a battery carrier into the insertion holes.SOLUTION: A forklift truck includes: a battery storage part 15 storing a replaceable battery 16 inside a vehicle body 10; and an opening part 17 opening the battery storage part 15 outside the vehicle body 10. The forklift truck is formed with insertion holes 18 into which engagement parts 52 of a battery carrier 5 for carrying the battery 16 are inserted. The forklift truck also includes: mirrors 41 disposed above the opening part 17; and a movable part 42 rotating the mirrors 41 relatively to the vehicle body 10. The movable part 42 operates, so that the mirrors 41 project from the outer surface 10A formed with the insertion holes 18, and the forklift truck comes into a state that outer end parts 41B of the mirrors 41 are positioned upward and outside the vehicle body 10 compared to inner end parts 41A of the mirrors 41. 【課題】車体の外表面に設けられた挿入孔を容易に目視することができ、挿入孔にバッテリキャリアの一部を容易に挿し込むことができるバッテリ式荷役車両を提供する。【解決手段】フォークリフトは、交換可能なバッテリ１６を車体１０の内部において収容するバッテリ収容部１５と、バッテリ収容部１５を車体１０の外部に開放する開放部１７とを備え、開放部１７の下方における車体１０の外表面１０Ａに、バッテリ１６を運搬するためのバッテリキャリア５の係合部５２が挿し込まれる挿入孔１８が設けられる。フォークリフトは、開放部１７の上方に配置された鏡４１と、車体１０に対して鏡４１を回動させる可動部４２とをさらに備え、可動部４２が動作することにより、挿入孔１８が形成された外表面１０Ａから鏡４１が突出し、かつ、鏡４１の内側端部４１Ａに比べて、鏡４１の外側端部４１Ｂが上方かつ車体１０の外方に位置する状態になる。【選択図】図３
