11   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 forks 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

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, stable and centered over the forks.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Be careful when using reach, tilt, sideshift or other

operations.  Remember that anytime the forks move, the

load moves also.  This can affect stability.  Perform all

hydraulic operations smoothly.  (This also applies to any

attachments your truck may have.)
