Capacity Plate

CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION

The capacity plate is on the power unit

cover.  It contains:
• Serial number
• Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)
• Truck type (a fire safety rating)
• Truck weight with battery (does not include load)
• Attachment information (if any)

READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

The capacity plate on the console contains the load,

load center, and lift height ratings for your truck.

For example:  On the sample plate, 680kg (1500 lb) can
be lifted to       3300mm (130 in) at a       500mm (20 in)
load center.

Capacity is reduced as load center       increases.

For example:  On the sample plate, 680kg (1500 lb) can
be lifted if the load center is 500mm (20 in).  But if the
load center is increased to 600mm (24 in), capacity is
reduced from 680kg (1500 lb) to 565kg (1250 lb).

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.

TRUCK TYPE

Some truck types are not permitted in areas where there

are fire hazards.  Watch for marked areas. 

 For example:

You must not operate a type E or ES truck in an area
restricted to EE or EX trucks.

ATTACHMENT DATA

If an attachment on your truck does not match the

information given here on your capacity plate, don't

operate your truck.  Your capacity plate may be wrong.

Report the problem to your supervisor, or contact Crown.
