LOADS MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

Your truck could tip over, in any direction, if a

load is shifted to the front or side of a pallet or

container.

WHAT IS YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY?

Capacity is the load (including pallet or

container) 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 load backrest

or vertical face of the fork to the center of an evenly

distributed load.
