TRUCK MODIFICATIONS
Unauthorized forklift modication is not permitted.
Per OSHA 1910.178, no modications or alterations to a powered
industrial truck, which may affect capacity, stability or safe operation
of the forklift shall be made without the prior written approval of

or a successor thereof.
After receiving the approval of UniCarriers Americas Corporation, its
authorized representative or a successor thereof, the data & capacity

arrange for a modication or alteration to a powered industrial forklift,
provided however, that the user shall:
a. Arrange for the modication or alteration to be designed,
tested and implemented by an engineer(s) expert in industrial
forklifts for their safety;
b. Maintain a permanent record of the design, test(s) and
implementation of the modication or alteration;
c. Approve and make appropriate changes to the data &
capacity plate(s), decals, tags, and operation and

the manner in which the forklift has been modied or altered
together with the date of the modication or alteration,
and the name and address of the organization that performed
