Forklift Electrical Parts - Forklifts and other forklifts may have particular labels utilized in certain hazardous locations. The mark indicates that this certain model of lift truck meets the minimum standards of ANSI/UL 553 used for electric forklifts or ANSI/UL 558 used for internal combustion engine lift trucks.
Applications for marked lift trucks can be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial forklifts including: Maintenance and Operation, Type Designations, and Areas of Use. Ask your local insurance carrier and Fire Marshall for additional info on the permitted uses of industrial powered lift trucks in your application.
If the particular lift truck meets the outlined criteria, labels can be attached. A labeled forklift would show the type of designation put on the nameplate and would have a correctly corresponding label attached.
