2 Answers
The character height on off-road vehicle nameplates should not be less than 5mm. Vehicle nameplates include: Vehicle nameplates are identification plates that indicate the basic characteristics of a vehicle, mainly including the manufacturer's brand, model, engine power, total mass, load capacity or passenger capacity, factory serial number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer's name. Function of vehicle nameplates: The manufacturing date can be determined by consulting the user or by inspecting the vehicle nameplate, as the vehicle's manufacturing date is always indicated on the nameplate located in the driver's compartment. Location of vehicle nameplates: Vehicles must be equipped with product nameplates placed in an easily observable position at the front of the vehicle. For buses, the nameplate is positioned above the front passenger door inside the vehicle.
I've been driving forklifts in the warehouse and always pay attention to clear equipment identification. According to regulations, the character height on the nameplate must not be less than 4mm, ensuring easy visibility of vehicle information during operation or accidents. If the characters are too small, it becomes difficult for supervisors to verify the VIN during inspections, delaying daily work. I regularly clean the nameplate area to prevent oil stains from covering it and also check for hydraulic system leaks. These small details make work safer and more efficient. New forklifts usually comply with regulations, but for used ones, special attention is needed to avoid illegible nameplates due to wear, which could lead to fines or suspension of use.
