Forklift RFID System Installation Guide
Once you have figured out the best potential locations for the 
antennas, you need to mount the antennas on the forklift. 
Exactly how you mount the antennas depends on many factors, 
including:
• forklift configuration. Is there space between the spines on the 
load backrest for mounting an antenna? Is it okay to remove 
one of the spines to accommodate mounting an antenna?
• customer requirements. Is it okay to drill holes in the sheet 
metal, or does the installation have to be easily removed?
• operating requirements. Is there a way to temporarily position 
the antennas until you have tested the RFID system? Then, 
you can permanently install the antennas.
Mounting On the Forklift Load Backrest
One way to mount antennas for a case tag application involves 
mounting the antennas on the forklift load backrest.
Antenna and IV7 Placement for Load Backrest Mounting: Example of the 
IV7 and its antennas mounted directly to the forklift load backrest. 
In this example, one antenna is mounted directly to the load 
backrest. The antenna must be kept clear of the load on the 
pallet. The size and type of load backrest will affect the success of 
this kind of installation.
