CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION
The capacity plate is on the overhead guard.  It contains:
•  Truck serial number
•  Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)
•  Truck type (a fire safety rating)
•  Truck weight, Less Load, with Attachments   5%
 
•  Attachment information (if any)
AFTER AUGUST 2017: READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE
Capacity may be reduced as lift height       increases.  
For example:  On the sample plate, 1815kg (4000 lb) 
 
can be lifted to 4775mm (188 in).  But above 4775 (188),  
to 5230 (206), capacity is reduced from 1815 (4000) to  
1745 (3850).
Capacity is reduced as load center       increases.  
For example:  On the sample plate, 1815kg (4000 lb) can 
 
be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in).  But if the load 
center is increased to 750mm (30), capacity is reduced  
from 1815 (4000) to 1450 (3200).
Caution: 
You may not increase capacity if load center is  
less than shown on your capacity plate.
Note: 
 ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requires that all data be shown 
first in Metric units and then USA units. 
SAMPLE

The information 
shown on this sample 
plate does not apply 
to your truck.
Know the Hazards
OTHER LIFT HEIGHTS & LOAD CENTERS
Contact Crown for capacities at lift heights or load centers not 
given on your capacity plate. 
TRUCK WEIGHT
Dockboards, elevators and some floors have limited 
capacity. Check your capacity plate for the weight 
of your truck.  Remember to add the weight of the 
load you have on the forks.  Make certain you use the 
correct units of measure.
TRUCK TYPE
Some truck types are not permitted in areas where 
there are fire hazards. Watch for marked areas. For 
example: You must not drive a type LP or D truck into an 
area restricted to LPS or DS trucks.
ATTACHMENT DATA 
If an attachment on your truck does not match the 
information given on your capacity plate, don't operate 
your truck. Your capacity plate may be wrong. Report 
the problem to your supervisor.
