Electric Trucks
Type E
Type E are electric trucks that have minimum safeguards against fire and electrical hazards. These trucks are not acceptable for use in hazardous environments.
Type EE
Type EE are electric trucks that meet the same requirements as type E trucks and have enclosures over spark-producing components. These trucks can be used in hazardous environments, but still have the potential for danger in flammable conditions.
Type EX
Type EX trucks are electrical trucks that meet the same requirements as types E and EE and are specifically tested for use in explosive and hazardous environments.
Internal Combustion Trucks
Type G
Type G trucks are gasoline trucks that meet the minimum requirements for internal combustion trucks. They have safeguards against gas leakage and should not be used in hazardous environments.
Type GS
Type GS trucks are gasoline trucks with additional safeguards for electrical units, fuel components and the exhaust system. These lifts can be used in certain hazardous conditions.
Types LP, LPS, D, DS and DY
These trucks are all limited to the same general applications as types E and EE trucks.[1]
