Basic Principles
Make the right start
–
know the load capacities of your
Truck Mounted Forklift. The rated capacity of the
machine is the weight that the machine is capable of
lifting under safe operating conditions. Remember that
the type of terrain or ground conditions can reduce the
amount you should lift.
The shape of the load will also affect the lift capacity of
the machine. Inspect the load you intend to lift. Make
sure that you know the weight of the load. If the weight
is not marked or shown on the load, check the weight
of the load with your supervisor or have it weighed. If it
is too heavy split the load and restack it. It is common
for a large capacity conventional forklift to be used
when loading trucks or trailers in a yard. Do not expect
the Truck Mounted Forklift to lift the load just because
a conventional yard forklift initially loaded it.
Remember that if attachments are used other than the
standard forks which are normally furnished with the
Truck Mounted Forklift, such attachments will reduce
the lifting capacity and affect other machine handling
characteristics.
With the Truck Mounted Forklift, the rated capacity is
based on a cube measuring
48”
in all three dimensions
with the center of gravity in the center of this cube.
This is known as a
24”
load center. If the dimensions of
the load increase or the position of the center of gravity
or load moves forward, the lifting capacity of the
machine will be reduced.
