Capacity & Load Center

17  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.

LOAD POSITION CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Capacities shown on your capacity plate are 
with the mast vertical and load centered. 
Be extra careful when tilting a load or using 
sideshift. (This also applies to other accessories 
or attachments your truck may have, such as 
carton clamp, push-pull, etc.)

Make sure your load is centered before you 
raise, lower, or travel.
