Capacity Plate; 13 Capacity Plate; Attachment Data- Page 8

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 max. battery (does not include load)

• Attachment information (if any)

• Mast collapsed height

READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

Capacity may be reduced as lift height      increases.  

For example:  On the sample plate, 1590kg (3500 lb) can 

be lifted to 3935mm (155 in).  But above 3935 (155), to 

5030 (198), capacity is reduced from 1590 (3500) to 

1360 (3000).

Capacity is reduced as load center      increases.   

If you must handle loads with longer load centers, an 

additional capacity plate will show the reduced 

capacities.

Know the Hazards

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.

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 

into 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.  

MAST COLLAPSED HEIGHT
  

Some work areas may have overhead obstructions. 

Mast Collapsed Height is the minimum height your 

truck can clear, providing the backrest and load are 

lowered below the top of the mast.
