<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)10.2 TYPE DESIGNATIONS AND AREAS OF USE10.2.1 Type DesignationThe following system shall be used as a basis tochoose appropriate types ofpowered forklifttrucks for operation in nonhazardous <strong>and</strong>hazardous locations (see ANSJJNFPA 505).10.2.1.1 Nonhazardous LocationsNOTE: The following units are not suitable foruse in hazardous areas since they include onlyminimum safeguards against inherent fIre hazards.a. Type D Forklifts--diesel-powered unitshaving minimum acceptable safeguards againstinherent f11'e hazards.b. Type E Forklijis-electrically powered unitshaving minimum acceptable safeguards against"inherent f11'e <strong>and</strong> electrical shock hazards.c. Type G Forklifts-gasoline-powered unitshaving minimum acceptable safeguards againstinherent fIre hazards.d. Type LP Forklifts-liquefIed-petroleumgas-poweredunits having minimum acceptablesafeguards against inherent fIre hazards.e. Type GILP Forklifts-gasoline-orliquefIed-petroleum-gas-powered units havingminimum acceptable safeguards against inherentf11'e hazards.10.2.1.2 Hazardous LocationsNOTE: The following units are suitable for use inhazardous areas since they are equipped withadditional safeguards (Le., special exhaust, fuel, orelectrical systems) or other modifIcations againstinherent f11'e hazards.a. Type DS Forklifts-diesel-powered unitsthat are provided with all the requirements for thetype D units <strong>and</strong> that have additional safeguardsto the exhaust, fuel, <strong>and</strong> electrical systems.b. Type DYForklifts--diesel-powered unitsthat have all the safeguards ofthe type DS unitsexcept that they do not have any electricalequipment, including ignition; they are equippedwith temperature-limitation features.c. Type ES Forklifts-electrically poweredunits that are provided with all the requirementsfor the type E units <strong>and</strong> that have additionalsafeguards to the electrical system to preventemission ofhazardous sparks <strong>and</strong> to limit surfacetemperatures.d. Type EE Forklijts-electrically poweredunits that are provided with all the requirementsfor the typeE <strong>and</strong> ES units, <strong>and</strong> that also haveelectric motors <strong>and</strong> all other electrical equipmentcompletely enclosed.e. Type EX Forklifts-electrically poweredunits that differ from type E, ES, or BE units inthat the electrical fIttings <strong>and</strong> equipment aredesigned, constructed, <strong>and</strong> assembled so that theunits may be used in atmospheres containingspecifIcally named flammable vapors, dusts, <strong>and</strong>,under certain conditions, fIbers; type EX units arespecifIcally tested <strong>and</strong> classifIed for use in Class I,Group D, or for Class n, Group G locations asdefIned in NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code.f. Type GS Forklifts-gasoline-powered unitsthat, in addition to all the requirements for thetype G units, are provided with additionalsafeguards to the exhaust, fuel, <strong>and</strong> electricalsystems.g. Type GSILPS Forklifts-gasoline- orliquefIed-petroleum-gas-powered units that, inaddition to all the requirements for the type GILPunits, are provided with additional safeguards tothe exhaust, fuel, <strong>and</strong> electrical systems.h. Type LPS Forklijts-liquefIed-petroleumgas-poweredunits that, in addition to therequirements for the type LP units, are providedwith additional safeguards to the exhaust, fuel,<strong>and</strong> electrical systems.10.2.2 Specific Areas of Usea. The responsible industrial safetyorganization shall classify the atmosphere orlocation where the powered forklift is to be usedas being hazardous or nonhazardous. LocationclassifIcations are described as follows:10-3Chapter 10Forklift Trucks
