CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION

The capacity plate is under the

overhead guard.  It contains:
• Truck serial number
• Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)
• Truck type (a fire safety rating)
• Truck weight with battery (does not include load)
• Attachment information (if any)

SAMPLE CAPACITY PLATE

The information shown

on this sample plate

does not apply to your

truck.

READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

Capacity may be reduced as lift height       increases.

For example:  On the sample plate, 1350kg (3000 lb)

can be lifted to 6095mm (240 in).  But above 6095 (240),

to 7010 (276), capacity is reduced from 1350 (3000) to

1125 (2500).

Capacity is reduced as load center       increases.

For example:  On the sample plate, 1350kg (3000 lb) can

be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in).  But if the

load center is increased to 900 (36), capacity is reduced

from 1350 (3000) to 900 (2000).

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.  Make certain you use the correct

units of measure.

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.

BRAKING REDUCED

For added stability and comfort, braking may be reduced

at some lift heights.  Check your capacity plate and allow

for a longer stopping distance above that lift height.

OTHER LIFT HEIGHT AND LOAD CENTERS

Contact Crown for capacities at lift heights or load centers

not given on your capacity plate.

Note:

ANSI B56.1 requires
that all data be shown
first in Metric units and
then USA units.
