WHAT IS YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY?
Capacity is the load (including pallet, cart,
container etc.) that can be lifted to a given height
at a given load center. See the capacity plate
on your truck. Make certain you use the correct
units of measure.
WHAT IS LOAD CENTER?
Load center is the distance from the end of the
operator platform to the center of an evenly
distributed load.
LOADS MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
Your truck could tip over, in any direction, if a
load is placed or shifted to the front, back or
side of a pallet, cart, fork mounted platform or
container. Make sure you spread the load evenly
as you load a pallet.
KNOW YOUR LOAD
Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's
capacity plate. Be careful when handling long, high or
wide loads. Do not handle unstable loads.
EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your
capacity plate. Make certain you use the correct units
of measure. Pay attention to:
• Weight of load plus attachments
• Load center
• Lift height
• Operator weight
CENTER THE LOAD
Your truck could tip over if a load is placed or shifted
to the front, back or side of a pallet or container.
Make sure your load is evenly distributed and
centered over the forks.
