All good information and conversation but what is the official determination from OSHA? There seems to be a gray area when it comes to forklift attachments. Officially from OSHA what is a forklift attachment and when is it a requirement to have the forklift manufactures approval, and when is it a requirement to list that attachment on the capacity plate? Here's another way of thinking about, could fork extensions be considered a tool and not an attachment or are they the same such as, with a Caterpillar IT14G integral tool carrier wheel loader that can have a multitude of tools such as, bucket, forks, sweeper etc... These are considered a tool by Caterpillar and are not listed on the capacity plate. Why wouldn't it be requirement for this type of equipment it it's a requirement forklifts?
