The forklift must have arms that are at least 1.8 metres (6-ft) long.
- Must be able to lift a minimum of 1,928 kg (4,250 lbs) approximately at 315 cm (124-in) of height with a load centre of ~122 cm (48-in) (max) lengthwise.
- Fork Width and Thickness: to accommodate the EL-53080 battery lift system and HV battery crate, fork width and thickness must not exceed the dimensions in the following table:
