Electrical Parts for Forklifts - Lift trucks together with various forklifts can have particular labels used in certain hazardous locations. The mark denotes that this particular model of lift truck meets the minimum standards of ANSI/UL 553 meant for electric lift trucks or ANSI/UL 558 used for internal combustion engine forklifts.
The application for labels used for lift trucks could be found in National Fire Protection Association NFPA 505 - Powered Industrial lift trucks including: Type Designations, Areas of Use, and Maintenance and Operation. Ask your local insurance provider and Fire Marshall for additional information on the approved uses of industrial powered forklifts in your application.
