not to be a killjoy here but forkinlift is correct

putting a carpet boom on a reach-truck is crazy, it wasn't designed for that and no manufacturer is going to approve this.

yes and i do mean it has to be approved by the truck manufacturer before any alterations outside of the trucks original design and/or purpose can be officially done. the data plate has to be updated also to reflect what has been altered on the truck.

If the customer does this on their own without it, they are ON THEIR OWN in a liability sense.
