Class II - Equipment for working in narrow aisles. This includes more specialized loaders such as reach trucks, side loaders.

Class III - Stackers and trolleys.

 

Class IV - Loaders with an internal combustion engine with solid tires.

Class V - Combustion engine loaders with pneumatic tires.

Class VI - Conveyors.
