Abstract
A restraint system for drivers of fork lift trucks with a driver's seat located in an open driver's cab includes a protective grate fastened to a protective roof of the driver's cab, which protective grate is pivotable around an axis of rotation that is located in the vicinity of the rear end of the driver's seat out of a closed position, which is approximately parallel to the driver's seat, outward into an open position. The protective grate can be fixed in the closed position. The protective grate may be retrofitted onto existing fork lift trucks, and can be operated very easily.
