The truck manufacturer states that when the forks are parallel to the floor there should be between 10mm & 15mm clearance between the bottom of the fork & the floor.

The speed limiting functions when the mast is reached out / raised in to main lift / travelling forks first are standard equipment on this family of reach trucks - all the different functions just need to be turned ON or OFF by a technician as the customer wishes.

As for lift chain adjustment it depends on the truck, some mast designs wont allow the forks to clear the floor when fully lowered & some other mast designs can actually snap the lift chains if there adjusted incorrectly trying to get the forks clear of the floor.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
