RICO’s standard for excellence in the design, manufacturing and installation of trucks instills in us a responsibility to create the safest EX-rated lift trucks on the market today.

Certified, simple maintenance, clear operator visibility, and outstanding parts and service support are always tied to the creation of our trucks.

Our EX-rated trucks are available in various models and configurations. From pallet and counterbalanced trucks to straddle, reach, platform and tractor, our exacting specifications and adherence to all safety levels are what you have come to expect from RICO.

RICO recently announced an expansion of its EX-forklift conversion services, aligning with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards that require a third-party certification for approval. This initiative is vital for forklift dealers and end users to ensure these markings are labeled and visible to safely operate in environments with flammable vapors or dust.

RICO offers extensive EX industrial truck operational and maintenance training to ensure our end users can safely maintain their RICO products. We also offer a Compliance Inspection Program to ensure aging units still comply with all regulations and can operate safely in an EX-environment. An explosion-proof truck is a big investment, and we want to ensure our customers extend their return on investment on these units.
