Both reduce what the truck can safely lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to update the data plate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. OSHA requires the truck to be marked with its capacity as equipped, and the markings must be maintained legible. The derated capacity with the attachment fitted is what the operator needs to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can fork extensions be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturers specify a maximum relative to the base forks - commonly no more than about 1.5 times the fork length. Exceeding it overloads the fork and destabilizes the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit any attachment to any forklift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Modifications or additions that affect capacity or safe operation need the truck manufacturer prior written approval under OSHA 1910.178(a)(4).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes using an attachment change operator training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
