Capacity & Load Center

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.

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.

KNOW YOUR LOAD

Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's

capacity plate.  Be careful when handling long, high or

wide loads. Do not handle unstable loads.

EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your

capacity plate.  Make certain you use the correct units

of measure. Pay attention to:
• Weight of load
• Load center
• Lift height

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Capacities given on your capacity plate are for loads that

are centered and level.  Be extra careful when tilting a

load.  (This also applies to other accessories or

attachments your truck may have, such as sideshift, carton

clamp, push-pull, etc.)

CENTER THE LOAD

Your truck could tip over if a load is shifted to the front

or side of a pallet or container.  Make sure your load is

evenly distributed and centered over the forks.
