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 fi re safety rating)
• Truck weight with battery (does not include load)

• Attachment information (if any)

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 reduce 
from 1815 (4000) to 1450 (3200).

Caution:  

You may not increase capacity if load center is 

less than shown on your capacity plate.

load you have on the forks.  Make certain you use the 
correct units of measure.

TRUCK TYPE

there are fi re hazards.  Watch for marked areas.  

For 

example: You must not drive a type E or ES truck into an 
area restricted to EE or EX trucks
