CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION
The capacity plate is on the mast cross brace. It contains:
• Truck serial number
• Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)
• Truck Weight, Less Load, with Max Battery,
and Attachment ± 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, 1360kg (3000 lb)
can be lifted to 3912mm (154 in). But above 3912 (154),
to 4267 (168), capacity is reduced from 1360 (3000) to
1135 (2500).
Capacity is reduced as load center increases.
For example: On the sample plate, 1135kg (2500 lb)
can be lifted if the load center is 600 mm (24in).
But if the load center is increased to 660 (26),
capacity is reduced from 1135 (2500) to 998 (2200).
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.
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 E or ES truck into an
area restricted to EE or EX trucks.
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.
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.
