A materials handling vehicle including a frame supporting a set of wheels and a rider compartment having a platform on which an operator may stand. Shock dampeners are provided positioned between the platform and the frame to isolate an operator standing on the platform from vibrations experienced by the frame. The platform includes a pair of pedals for controlling operation of the materials handling vehicle and the shock dampeners are preferably resilient members such as compression springs for receiving vibrations transmitted from the frame.
