Bendi B40i4 Mast and Frame
The serial number for the Mast can usually be found
towards the top as shown in See Figure3-3. It can best
be viewed at an angle to the surface that it is stamped
into. There is some location discrepancy because many
masts can be installed onto the Bendi.
The serial number for the Frame of the B40i4 is found on
the left side of the frame near the steering rotation point.

Understanding Truck Rate Capacity

DANGER
Before you begin to operate the Bendi B40i4 forklift, you
need to know some basic operation principles. One of the
most important facts about the Bendi B40i4 forklift is its
rated capacity (how much weight it can safely lift) and
how to properly carry a load to maintain stability. This
weight is listed as the rated capacity on the identification
plate. See Figure 3-2.
The rated capacity varies for each load depending on:
• Where the horizontal and vertical load centers are.
• The height you plan to lift the load.
• Attachments used.
Truck Overview
Before operating the Bendi B40i4 Forklift, familiarize
yourself with the basic parts of the truck. The following
sections describe the different components that make up
the Bendi B40i4 Forklift.
Table 3-1: Serial Number Code
aa = 40 for 4,000 lb rated capacity truck
ww = 44 for 44” frame width
tt = type i.e. T4
yy = last digits of year of manufacture
(ex. “09 means 2009, “10” means 2010)
mm = month of manufacture
s component series; such as “A”
xxxxx = frame number
Never load a lift truck beyond its rated capacity.
Loading beyond rated capacities can cause axles
to break, the truck to tip over, load to fall, serious
injury or death. See identification (capacity) plate
for rated capacity and load center information.
