Warning in the event that components
project beyond the truck contour
Trucks are often required to drive through very
narrow or very low spaces such as aisles or
containers. The dimensions of the trucks are
designed for this purpose. However, movable
parts may project beyond the truck contour
and be damaged or torn off. Examples of such
components include:
• Extended lift mast
• Additional attachments (mirrors, monitors
etc. )
• Cab doors
