Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps

The recommended method of reducing static buildup is to install ground con-
tacting anti-static straps or conductors to the frame of the forklift (refer to Fig-
ure 3).

Contact your forklift parts provider for availability.

Figure 3. Installing Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps

It is recommended that more than one strap be installed on each vehicle to
help eliminate or reduce the potential for static buildup while the vehicle is in
motion. This will provide an adequate level of redundancy, should one of the
straps become dislodged from the lift.

Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps should be checked at regular intervals to
ensure proper installation or identify need for replacement.
