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 the Hazards

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

• Position of mast

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.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Capacities shown on your capacity plate are with the

mast vertical.  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.)
