CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION

The capacity plate is on the overhead guard.  It contains:
•  Truck serial number
•  Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)
•  Truck type (a fire safety rating)
•  Truck weight, Less Load, with Attachments   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, 1815kg (4000 lb)  

can be lifted to 4775mm (188 in).  But above 4775 (188),  

to 5230 (206), capacity is reduced from 1815 (4000) to  

1745 (3850).

Capacity is reduced as load center       increases.  

For example:  On the sample plate, 1815kg (4000 lb) can  

be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in).  But if the load 

center is increased to 750mm (30), capacity is reduced  

from 1815 (4000) to 1450 (3200).

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.

to your truck.

Know the Hazards

OTHER LIFT HEIGHTS & LOAD CENTERS

Contact Crown for capacities at lift heights or load centers not 

given on your capacity plate. 

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 drive a type LP or D truck into an 

area restricted to LPS or DS trucks.

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.  

BEFORE AUGUST 2017: READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

Capacity may be reduced as lift height       increases.  

For example:  On the sample 

plate, 1815kg (4000 lb) can be lifted to 4775mm (188 in).  But above 4775 (188), to 5230 

(206), capacity is reduced from 1815 (4000) to 1745 (3850).

Capacity is reduced as load center       increases.  

For example:  On the sample plate, 

1815kg (4000 lb) can be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in).  But if the load center 

is increased to 750mm (30), capacity is reduced from 1815 (4000) to 1450 (3200).

Caution:  

You may not increase capacity 

if load center is less than shown on 

your capacity plate.
