Fork Mounted Attachments Equivalent Load
Equivalent Load Calculation
The Equivalent Load is determined with the calculation below. The Equivalent Load is the
value applied to the respective carriage capacity chart to determine the appropriate use
zone(s).
(Weight of Attachment (lb) x CG Distance of Attachment (in)
1
)
+ (Weight of Attachment Load (lb) x CG Distance of Load (in)
1
) ÷ 24 in = Equivalent Load
1
Center of Gravity (CG) Distance is measured horizontally from the front surface of the fork.
Example
• Weight of attachment = 500 pounds
• Center of gravity of attachment = 10 inches
• Weight of load = 1,500 pounds
• Center of gravity of load = 30 inches
The Equivalent Load for this example is:
This value is cross-checked to the capacity of the forks to ensure the forks are rated to
equally share this load. The user then utilizes the carriage capacity chart to determine
where 2,083 lb can be safely moved and placed within the machine operating limits.
WARNING
This calculation does not apply to Personnel Work Platforms. Refer to Telehandler
Personnel Work Platform Operation & Safety Manual for additional information.
