Understanding it helps managers make better forklift decisions before operators are asked to use equipment, attachments or routes that have moved beyond their current competence and record evidence becomes harder to control.
Short answer

What this means in practice
In practice, different truck categories work affects the way trucks, people, loads and records work together on a live site. It helps managers move from a broad concern to a clearer decision about repair, hire, training, inspection, parts or equipment choice. For example, an operator trained on one counterbalance task may need conversion, refresher or site familiarisation before using a reach truck, pivot steer, attachment or changed traffic route.
