Gollam10 Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 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 Quote
AnthonyB Posted yesterday at 21:55 Report Posted yesterday at 21:55 They are rarely used outside of ships and vehicles in the UK as they aren't recognised as an acceptable means of fire protection, you see them used more in Ireland and Spain and similar, so there isn't loads of guidance out there. 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 Quote
