Forklift Electrical Parts - Forklifts together with other lift trucks could have specific labels used in some hazardous locations. The label denotes that this particular model of forklift meets the minimum standards of ANSI/UL 553 intended for electric lift trucks or ANSI/UL 558 used for internal combustion engine forklifts.
Applications for marked trucks could be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial lift trucks including: Areas or Use, Maintenance and Operation, and Type Designations. Check with your local insurance carrier and Fire Marshall for further information regarding the permitted uses of industrial powered lift trucks in your application.
If the specific forklift meets the outlined standards, labels can be placed. A labeled forklift would show the type of designation put on the nameplate and will have a properly corresponding label placed.
