Electrical Part for Forklifts - Forklifts could be specifically labeled for use in dangerous locations. A labeled forklift indicates the design has met the lowest standards of ANSI/UL 558 for engine powered trucks or ANSI/UL 583 meant for electric trucks for the type of label placed.
The use for labels for lift forklifts can be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial forklifts including: Maintenance and Operation, Type Designations, and Areas of Use. Consult your local insurance carrier and Fire Marshall for more information concerning the permitted uses of industrial powered lift trucks in your application.
If the particular forklift satisfies the outlined criteria, labels could be put. A labeled lift truck will show the type of designation located on the nameplate and would have a correctly corresponding label attached.
