October 15, 2025Oct 15 comment_54174 Could anyone please tell me the correct height for installation of an automatic powder fire extinguisher for use in a forklift charging bay. I can't find anything solid so guess it's based on risk assessment. Hope someone can help. It's like this model https://www.ebay.ie/itm/223302628047?chn=ps&var=522088230647&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=5282-166454-587998-0&mkcid=2&itemid=522088230647_223302628047&targetid=2308550382942&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9198581&poi=&campaignid=20320759638&mkgroupid=152362499922&rlsatarget=pla-2308550382942&abcId=&merchantid=5542277354&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20320759638&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjL3HBhCgARIsAPUg7a4R4TB50NO5kZZ9Pm2XNiRdcjdU2tj-0JWuR1QtWmh-IyZXp1i7QU0aAshVEALw_wcB Report

Based on various sources I can find and the linked, it's mounted above the hazard at a height from the floor in the range of 1.5 - 3m https://www.emme-italia.com/sites/default/files/librettotecnico/13069-3_13129-3_Technical manual.pdf Report
