You may need to modify the load backrest to protect the antenna 
from load impact damage. Ideally, the antenna should be recessed 
in a metal frame.
Mounting Between the Forks
If the application is designed to read pallet tags placed on the 
bottom of pallets or other containers, you may want to mount 
the antenns between the forks.
Antenna Placement for Pallet Tag Applications: As the driver raises the 
forks and the load, the antenna is directly in front of the tags that have been 
placed in the center on the bottom of a pallet or container.
This approach typically requires mounting the antennas so they 
can move with the forks. In this case, a riser pulley system can be 
used to manage the antenna cables. Most forklift manufacturers 
offer this type of pulley kit.
If just the antennas are mounted on the moving fork assembly, 
each antenna requires a coaxial cable in the riser pulley system.
If the IV7 is also mounted on the moving fork assembly, the riser 
pulley system should include a 5-wire cable to support power and 
communications for the IV7.
You may need to modify the load backrest so that the mounted 
antennas and IV7 are protected from collisions with the load or 
containers.
