Forklift Electrical Parts - Lift trucks could be particularly marked to be used in hazardous locations. A marked truck denotes the design has met the lowest standards of ANSI/UL 558 meant for engine powered lift trucks or ANSI/UL 583 utilized for electric trucks for the type of label attached.
Applications for labeled lift trucks can be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial forklifts including: Type Designations, Areas of Use, and Maintenance and Operation. Check with your local insurance provider and Fire Marshall for further info on the approved uses of industrial powered forklifts in your application.
If the particular lift truck satisfies the outlined standards, labels can be put. A labeled forklift will show the type of designation put on the nameplate and will have a properly corresponding label put.
