OTHER LIFT HEIGHTS & LOAD CENTERS
Contact Crown for capacities at lift heights or load
centers not given on your capacity plate.
Note:
ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requires that all data be shown
first in Metric units and then USA units.
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 fi re safety rating)
• Truck weight
• Attachment information (if any)
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.

Some truck types are not permitted in areas where
there are fi re hazards. Watch for marked areas. For
example: You must not drive a type LP truck into an
