to the side easier
than a loaded truck with its load in the
lowered position.
In order for the lift truck to be stable (not tip over forward
or to the side) the CG must stay within the area of the lift
truck represented by a triangle drawn between the drive
wheels and the pivot of the steering axle.
CG -- Truck Will Tip Over
Drive Axle
Steering Axle
If the CG moves forward of the drive axle the lift truck will
tip forward. If the CG moves outside of the line repre-
sented by the lines drawn between the drive wheels and
the steering axle pivot, the lift truck will tip to that side.
Capacity (Weight And Load Center)
The capacity of the fork lift truck is shown on the Name-
plate. The capacity is listed in terms of weight and load
center. The weight is specified in kilograms or pounds.
The load center is specified in millimeters or inches. The
capacity is the maximum load that the lift truck can han-
dle. This load must weigh less than the maximum weight
for a load center shown on the nameplate.
The load center of a load is determined by the location of
its center of gravity. The load center is measured from the
front face of the forks, or the load face of an attachment,
to the center of gravity of the load. It is also assumed that
the location of the center of gravity in the vertical direction
is no greater than the specified horizontal dimension.
The operator must know whether or not a load is within
the capacity of the lift truck before the load is handled.
