No, not specifically. But if the Fork Truck came with a fire extinguisher attached as original equipment, it must be maintained unless the manufacturer approves a change.
The local fire officials may require that a fire extinguisher of a specific class and rating be mounted on a forklift, and it must be inspected (every 30 days) and maintained annually like any other portable fire extinguisher. NFPA 505 (Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks [including forklifts]).
If there is a fire extinguisher on the machine, the machine operator is required to be trained in its proper use.
