Capacity (Weight and Load Center)
The capacity of the lift truck is shown on the Nameplate. The
capacity is listed in terms of weight and load center. The
weight is specified in kilograms and pounds. The load center
is specified in millimeters and inches. The capacity is the
maximum load that the lift truck can handle, with the mast
vertical, for the load condition 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
