CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION

The capacity plate is on a console in
the operator area.  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

Capacity may be reduced as lift height      increases.

For example:  On the sample plate, 1450kg (3200 lb) can
be lifted to 3910mm (154 in.).  But above 3910 (154),
to 4370 (172), capacity is reduced from 1450 (3200) to
1405 (3100).

Capacity is reduced as load center      increases.

For example:  On the sample plate, 1450kg (3200 lb) can
be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in.)  But if the
load center is increased to 830mm (33 in.), capacity is
reduced from 1450 (3200) to 1045 (2300).

CAUTION

You may not increase capacity if load
center is less than shown on your 
capacity plate.

TRUCK WEIGHT

Dockboards, elevators and some floors have limited
capacity.  Check your capacity plate for the weight of
your truck.  Make certain you use the correct units of
measure.  Remember to add the weight of the load
you have on the forks.

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.

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 E or ES truck in an area restricted
to EE or EX trucks.
