[Problem] To provide an integrated forklift footboard/liquid-tank structure wherein a liquid tank and a footboard are formed as a single unit and the numbers of man-hours required to fabricate and attach said structure are reduced, reducing cost. [Solution] This integrated forklift footboard/liquid-tank structure is characterized by the provision of a first liquid-tank member (62), a second liquid-tank member (63), and a footboard member (61a). The first liquid-tank member (62) forms an approximate U shape in a planar view and extends outwards from the front and rear edges of a first wall surface (62a) that extends in a front-rear direction on the outside of a side frame (21). The second liquid-tank member (63) has the following: a fourth wall surface (63a) that closes a top open part of the aforementioned approximate U shape; a fifth wall surface (b) that has a first extension part (63e) that extends in front of a second wall surface (62b) and closes an outer open part; and a sixth wall surface (63c) that has a second extension part (63f) that extends in front of the second wall surface (62b) and closes a bottom open part. The footboard member (61a) is joined in a substantially horizontal fashion to a front-wheel fender (21a), the second wall surface (62b), and the top edge of a notch (S) cut out above the vertical center of the first extension part (63e).
