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.
