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 fi re 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.

Note:
  

ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requires that all 
data be shown fi rst in Metric units 
and then USA units.

CAUTION:

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

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.
