Quality & Engineering
The Caldwell Group has been manufacturing lifting equipment since 1954. It is our goal to manufacture high quality, long lasting lifting products that will safely increase productivity and reduce operating costs.
​
Both OSHA and ANST/ITSDF indicate modifications and additions to a fork truck require prior written approval from the original fork truck manufacturer.
OSHA 1910.178(a)(4) states “Modifications and additions which affect capacity and safe operation shall not be performed by the customer or user without manufacturers prior written approval. Capacity, operations, and maintenance instruction plates, tags, or decals shall be changed accordingly.”
ANSI/ITSDF B56.10-2006 4.2.1 states “no modification or alterations to a powered industrial truck that may affect the capacity, stability or safe operation of the truck, shall be made without the prior written approval of the original truck manufacturer or its successor thereof. When the truck manufacturer or its successor approves a modification or alteration, appropriate changes shall be made to capacity plates, decals, tags, and operations and maintenance manuals.”
ANSI/ITSDF B56.10-2006, Part III, 7.4.5 - The attachment manufacturer shall install a durable, corrosion resistant nameplate, with the following information legibly and permanently inscribed:
• Model designation
• Serial Number
• Maximum hydraulic pressure (on hydraulically actuated attachments)
• Weight (value to be accurate +/-5%)
• Capacity
• The following instruction (or equivalent): Capacity of truck and attachment combination may be less than capacity shown on attachment. Consult truck nameplate.
