QualityForks made by VETTER Technical information Connection measures ISO suspension Today, the ISO suspension is world-wide the most common way of connecting forks to the lift-truck. According to the rated truck capacity the ISO standard consists of 5 classes, each of them having a form „A“ and „B“ (e.g. class „2A“ or „2B“). The difference in the forms „A“ and „B“ is the fork drop (clearance lower hook to floor). All measures are defined in the international standard ISO 2328. In the table below, the most important measures are listed.
