ANSI/ITSDF B56.10 - 2006, Safety Standard for Manually Propelled High Lift Industrial Trucks
This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of manually propelled high lift industrial trucks controlled by a walking operator, and intended for use on level, improved surfaces.

**NEW ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks **Requirements Effective 10/7/2010
This standard becomes effective 10/7/2010. This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of low lift and high lift powered industrial trucks controlled by a riding or walking operator, and intended for use on compacted, improved surfaces.
 - B56.1-2009 Errata (2/23/2010)

ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 - 2005, Safety Standard for Low and High Lift Trucks
This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of low lift and high lift powered industrial trucks controlled by a riding or walking operator, and intended for use on compacted, improved surfaces.

 - B56.6 Errata (4/9/2002)

ANSI/ITSDF B56.8 - 2006, Safety Standard for Personnel and Burden Carriers
This Standard defines safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of powered personnel and burden carriers having three or more wheels, a maximum speed not exceeding 40 km/h (25 mph), and a load capacity not exceeding 4536 kg (10,000 lb). This Standard does not include vehicles intended primarily for earth moving or over-the-road hauling, or unmanned automatic guided vehicles.
 - B56.8 Interpretations (8/1/1989)

ANSI/ITSDF B56.9 - 2006, Safety Standard for Operator Controlled Industrial Tow Tractors
This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of operator controlled industrial tow tractors up to and including 66750 N (15,000 lb) maximum rated drawbar pull.

ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.1 - 2005, Double Race or Bi-Level Swivel and Rigid Industrial Casters
This standard establishes dimensional standards for double race or bi-level swivel and rigid industrial casters in order to provide for the overall interchangeability of a complete caster.

ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.4 - 2005, Hook-Type Forks and Fork Carriers for Powered Industrial Forklift Trucks
The scope of this Standard encompasses standards relative to hook-type fork carriers and the attaching elements of fork arms and load handling attachments for forklift trucks, in relation to manufacturers' rated capacities of trucks up to and including 11,000 kg (24,000 lb).

ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.5 - 2005, Measurements of Sound Emitted by Low Lift, High Lift and Rough Terrain Powered Industrial Vehicles
This Standard establishes the conditions, test procedures, environment, and instrumentation for the determination and reporting of the A-weighted sound pressure level of electric battery and internal combustion engine powered, low lift, high lift, and rough terrain industrial trucks. It excludes earthmoving machinery, industrial cranes, and vehicles intended primarily for use on public roads. It provides test procedures for measuring both operator and bystander exposure to sound produced by the trucks. The test procedures set forth in this Standard provide the basis for determining the contribution powered industrial trucks make to the overall sound level of a selected work area.

ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.6 - 2005, Evaluation of Visibility from Powered Industrial Trucks
This Standard establishes the conditions, procedures, equipment, and acceptability criteria for evaluating visibility from powered industrial trucks. It applies to internal combustion engine powered and electric high lift, counterbalanced, sit-down rider industrial trucks up to and including 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) capacity. inspection, testing, and acceptance, thereby fostering universal use of export pallets in international commerce with minimal restrictions.

ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.7 - 2005, Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Fuel Cylinders (Horizontal or Vertical) Mounting - Liquid Withdrawal - For Powered Industrial Trucks
This Standard establishes dimensions for LPG fuel cylinders used on powered industrial trucks.
