This International Standard specifies the principal di-mensions for pallet trucks for transporting flat pallets complying generally with ISO 6780 and their loads.
The dimensions apply to the heights, widths and lengths of the fork arms of pallet trucks which may have either single or tandem trail wheels.
It should not be inferred that the use of a particular size of pallet truck is restricted to one particular size of pallet.
NOTE 1 The pallet dimensions shown in figure 2 are informative only and are given in anticipation of an amendment to ISO 6780 of the entry dimensions of full perimeter base pallets as defined in ISO 445. The amendment is intended to bring ISO 6780 into line with existing practice.
