Capacity & Load Center

11   Capacity & Load Center

WHAT IS YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY?

Capacity is the load (including pallet, cart,

container etc.) 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 end of the

operator platform 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 placed or shifted to the front, back or

side of a pallet, cart, fork mounted platform or 

container. Make sure you spread the load evenly 

as you load a pallet.
