INTRODUCTION
Of all industrial equipment, self-propelled forklift-trucks are those which have been the subject of the greatest number of regulatory and standardization texts, at international, European and national level.
These texts are regularly updated, so the list in the "Find out more" section is by no means exhaustive.
A distinction must be made between texts concerning the construction of self-propelled forklift-trucks and their countless components, and those concerning their use.
