A combination of vehicles which consists of not more than two cargo units, but excluding a full-sized truck which has a cargo body and a hitch for the transportation of trailers or semitrailers, and which has a total length when coupled together of less than 70 feet may transport a forklift which, when added to the length of the vehicles, makes the total length 70 feet or more, if all the conditions of this section are met.2. The forklift must be required for loading or unloading a cargo unit or a cargo body, but excluding a full-sized truck which has a cargo body and a hitch for the transportation of trailers or semitrailers, in the combination of vehicles on or to which the forklift is transported.3. The forklift must be: (a) Transported behind or on the last vehicle in the combination of vehicles; and(b) Securely fastened in a manner that prevents any part of the forklift from moving during transport, excluding the wheels of the forklift if the forklift is being towed.4. The total length of the forklift must not be more than 18 feet, as measured from the rear of the vehicle which is in front of the forklift to the rear of the forklift.5. The operator of a combination of vehicles which includes a forklift must limit the speed of the vehicles to a speed which does not cause the forklift to sway or track in an alignment different than that of the vehicle transporting it.6. If a forklift is transported after dark, it must have tail lamps, stop lamps, turn signals and any other lighting required to be on the rear of the last vehicle in a combination of vehicles. A temporary device which meets the requirements for lighting may be attached to the forklift to comply with this subsection.7. All lamps and other lighting on a forklift must be operated in the same manner as lamps and lighting on the rear of the last vehicle in a combination of vehicles.8. If a forklift is transported by towing, a pressure hitch is not required to couple the forklift to the vehicle towing it but the device used for coupling must be strong enough to prevent the forklift from separating from the vehicle which is towing it.9. If a forklift is transported by affixing the forklift to a cargo unit, the forklift must be securely fastened using chains or cables of sufficient strength to prevent the forklift from moving or separating from the vehicle transporting it while being transported.10.
