Lift Truck Capacity Rating
DO NOT exceed allowable lift truck working capacity
load ratings.
The capacity of the lift truck is given by weight and
distance to the load center. For example: a capacity
of 1200kg(2640 lb) at 600mm(24in) means that the
lift truck can lift 1200kg(2640lb) if the load center is
600 mm (24in) from both the vertical and horizontal
faces of the forks.
Before attempting to lift any load, ensure that the
weight and load center combination is within the
capacity of the lift truck as shown on the capacity
rating plate. To determine the load center, measure
the distance from the face of the carriage to the
gravitational center of the load.
The rated capacity on the plate refers to the capacity
of the lift truck as it left the factory. Subsequent
changes of any form to the equipment or battery can
alter the lift truck's rating.
The rated capacity of the lift truck applies to
operating conditions where the lift truck is on level
ground. The capacity of the lift truck is reduced on
inclines.
