2 TRUCK MODIFICATION 2
Truck modification • approves and makes appropriate changes to the capacity plate
(s), decals, tags and Instruction Handbook.
Truck modification • affixes a permanent and readily visible label to the truck stating
the manner in which the truck has been modified or altered,
NOTE together with the date of the modification or alteration, and the
Unauthorized truck modification is not permitted. name and address of the organization which performed the task.
• See also Subsequent mounting of radio equipment page 86.
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 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.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS 3
Environmental considerations
We respect the environment
The majority of our products consist of steel, and can be
completely recycled.
Environmental impact
All products have an impact on the environment throughout their
entire life cycle.
We strive to minimise total energy consumption during production
and recycling. This is done throughout the process, e. g. through
design and choice of components.
Waste
Waste material in conjunction with repairs, maintenance, cleaning,
or scrapping, must be collected and disposed of in an
environment-friendly way and in accordance with local directives.
Such work should only be carried out in areas intended for this
purpose.
Recyclable material should be taken care of by specialised
authorities.
Environmentally hazardous waste, such as oil filters, hydraulic oil,
batteries and electronic equipment, can, if handled incorrectly,
have a negative effect on the environment and human health.

Picking truck EPL normally mounted on an extra mast (initial lift) that provides an
ergonomically correct working height for putting the picked items
onto the load bearer. The truck is used for picking from pallet
racking and shelf compartments in aisles of normal width.
WARNING
This truck model does not support the use of pallets as
a walking surface. Such use requires special
equipment that locks the pallet's position.
EPL is a picking truck for order picking at various heights. When

items are to be picked from high heights, the height-adjustable
platform is used. For safety reasons, it is not possible to

ergonomically correct working height for putting the picked items
onto the picking pallet. The truck is used for picking from pallet
racking and shelf compartments in both aisles of normal width and
wire and rail-guided narrow aisles.
WARNING
These truck models do not support the use of pallets
as an operating surface. Such use requires special
equipment that locks the pallet's position.
EPM and EPH are picking trucks for picking orders from various
heights. When items are to be picked from high heights, the

Increased driving speed 12 km/h (option) Securing for transport (EPL)

Truck with fixed forks and the option "Increased driving speed 12
km/h" may only be used with pallets that are released from the
forks in the bottom position. Loads that are not released can
disrupt the weight indication system and therefore require special
solutions on the truck.
Safety gates
All trucks with a lifting height over 1.2 m are equipped with safety
gates that work as fall guards.
WARNING
Standing on the safety gates is not permitted. There is
a risk of injury, and the gates can be damaged.
Chain slack switch

Trucks with operator lift and which have a lifting height of over 1.2
m are equipped with a safety switch that can detect whether there
is slack in the chain that makes lowering the operator platform
impossible. To return full function, the operator platform must be
raised so it is released from the stop. The operator platform must Fig. 62. Securing for transport, EPL
