GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
The Chariot is a single passenger vehicle involving stand-up operation. This vehicle is designed to be
driven on smooth surfaces in and around industrial plants, nurseries, institutions, motels, mobile home
parks, and resorts.
This vehicle is not designed to be driven on public highways. It is designed to conform to requirements for
Type E vehicles as described in O.S.H.A. Standard Section 1910.178 (Powered Industrial Trucks) and
with all applicable portions of the American National Standard for Personnel and Burden Carriers (ANSI
B56.8 1993 Part III).
2.2 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)
Each vehicle is assigned a unique Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN). The VIN describes facts and features of the vehicle and
contains thirteen (13) digits. The VIN can be found in two locations.
The VIN is recorded on the vehicle nameplate which is located on
the left side of the operator’s position. See Figure 1.3.1.
The nameplate also has other important information such as vehicle
weights and capacity. Do not exceed this capacity. This rated
capacity includes cargo and operator.
The VIN is also stamped on the metal cross bar located under the
foot treadle platform. See Figure 1.3.2.
To ensure prompt service when repairs or adjustments are
required, your Columbia Dealer must have the VIN.
