Electrical Part for Forklifts - Forklifts may be purposely marked to be utilized in unsafe places. A labeled forklift indicates the design has met the lowest requirements of ANSI/UL 558 intended for engine powered lift trucks or ANSI/UL 583 meant for electric lift trucks for the type of label put.
Applications for marked lift trucks may be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial forklifts including: Areas or Use, Maintenance and Operation, and Type Designations. Ask your local insurance carrier and Fire Marshall for more info regarding the approved uses of industrial powered lift trucks in your application.
If the specific lift truck satisfies the outlined criteria, labels could be put. A labeled forklift will show the type of designation placed on the nameplate and will have a correctly corresponding label put.
