Truck modification
NOTE!
Unauthorized truck modification is not permitted.
No modifications or changes to powered industrial trucks that
can affect areas such as capacity, stability or safety
requirements for the truck may be made without advance
written authorisation from the manufacturer, its authorised
representatives or a successor to these. Contact your local
authorised dealer before any modification or change is made to
your industrial truck that may affect, for example, braking,
steering, visibility and connection of separate load aggregates.
Once permission has been granted by the manufacturer,
authorised representative thereof or successor to these, the
plate indicating the truck's capacity, decals, labels and
operating and instruction handbooks must also be changed
accordingly.
Only in the event that the manufacturer is no longer in business
and there is no successor to the company's stakeholders may
the user implement a modification or alteration to a powered
industrial truck. This applies on the condition that the user:
• arranges for the modification or alteration to be designed,
tested and implemented by one or more engineers who
are experts in industrial trucks and their safety
• maintains a permanent record of the design, test(s) and
implementation of the modification or alteration
TRUCK MODIFICATION 02

stating the manner in which the truck has been modified or

which performed the task.
