A material handling truck utilizing a transverse frame plate on which a plurality of operating components are sub-assembled, which sub-assembly is transported to a selected assembly station on the main assembly line at which it is secured, as by bolting, transversely of the frame of the truck and functions as a structural member thereof. In the example of a sit-down rider electric truck the sub-assembled frame plate may also be mounted for pivoting when the connections, such as bolts, are removed, thereby facilitating truck servicing, as well as functioning when in rigid connection with the frame as a battery retainer plate.
