Here is a puzzle for you to solve. I once worked with a customer, a large nationally recognized account, that:
1. Wanted to be totally OSHA compliant on his lift trucks - all equipped with a 78"-80" lift masts - trucking company.
2. They asked for a single name plate that would reflect the trucks lift capacity at every hook position when a fork mounted jib boom was installed - as I recall the hook position were in 6" increment starting a 24" thru 72" or a total of 8 position - typical name plates provide a max of 3 spaces for alternate ratings. Our company's answer was to give them a placard for each truck they owned of our brand with the various ratings & place it in the operators pouch and advised them to put a note on the boom to refer to the placard when using this attachment. The lift truck manufacturer I'm referring to is no longer in business along with their corporate offices.
What say you?
