In forklifts, the clamp carriage system is classified according to ISO standards, with the main levels ranging from ISO Class 1 to ISO Class 4. These levels determine the carriage dimensions and compatibility of the clamps with the forklift.
ISO Levels of Clamps
ISO Class | Carriage Height (mm) | Suitable Forklift Load Capacity |
---|---|---|
ISO Class 1 | 76 mm | Below 1 ton |
ISO Class 2 | 152 mm | 1 – 2.5 tons |
ISO Class 3 | 197 mm | 2.5 – 4.5 tons |
ISO Class 4 | 254 mm | 5 – 10 tons |
