Nameplate and Decals
This section shows the nameplate (data and capacity
plate) and decals required to be on all operating Clark
industrial trucks. The nameplate lists the data on the truck
- type and serial number - and the capacities of the truck.
Decals depict or explain the hazards the operator must
avoid when operating the truck. The nameplate and decals
are placed in specific locations on the truck and are
intended to warn others working around the truck of its
hazards as well. The nameplate and decals MUST BE IN
PLACE on all trucks.
If any decals or the nameplate are missing from the truck,
check with your local Clark dealer for replacements. This
is required by OSHA.

Truck Data and Capacity Plate
The truck data and capacity plate provides essential infor-
mation about the truck. This information is important for
both operators and service personnel. Operators can see
what the truck’s capacities and load ratings are. Service

number when ordering parts. Refer to numbers on exam-
ple data plate illustration.
1. Truck model number or registered name.
2. Truck serial number--An identification number
assigned to this particular truck and should be used
when requesting information or ordering service
parts for this truck from your authorized CLARK
dealer. The serial number is also stamped on the
frame.

must see that the truck is marked to identify the
attachment(s), including weight of the truck/attach-
ment combination and truck capacity with the attach-
ment.

relation to load centers and fork heights (see diagram

can occur if these capacities are exceeded.
5. Truck weight - The approximate weight of the truck
without a load on the forks. The truck weight plus the
weight of the load must be considered when operat-
ing on elevators, elevated floors, etc., to be sure it is
safe.
