- The driving of non EC type-approved tractors on the public highway is subject to the provisions of the highway code
relating to special machines, defined in article R311-1 of the highway code, in category B of the Equipment Order of
20 November 1969 that determines the procedures applicable to special machines. The lift truck must be fitted with a
licence plate.
- The driving of EC type-approved tractors on the public highway is subject to the provisions of the highway code regarding
agricultural tractors, defined in article R311-1 of the highway code. The lift truck must be registered.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION APPLYING TO "EC TRACTOR" TYPE-APPROVED LIFT TRUCKS
- All EC tractor type-approved lift trucks are supplied with an "EC tractor" certificate complying with directive 2003/37/EC, to be retained by the owner, and a page of
administrative details together with a CNIT number (national type approval code) for registration at the prefecture.
- The lift truck owner is responsible for carrying out the necessary procedures for obtaining the vehicle registration document within the time limit defined by the regulations.

language used by the operator.

(consult your dealer) and under the necessary safety conditions to maintain the health of the operator and any third party.
The frequency of this inspection is defined by current legislation in the country in which the lift truck is used.
- Example for France "The manager in charge of the establishment using a lift truck must open and maintain a maintenance
log for each machine (order of 2 March 2004) and undergo a general periodic inspection every 6 months (order of 1
March 2004)".
In this case, a "25" disc must be affixed to the rear of the convoy.
Do not perform welding or drilling on the cab structure.
Consult your dealer to determine the limits of this structure without cancelling its compliance.
Your lift truck must be inspected periodically to ensure that it remains in compliance.
