Question 2

What does the rated capacity of a forklift refer to?

Accepted Answer

The maximum weight the forklift can carry at the manufacturer's specified load centre

Answer

Rated capacity is the maximum load a forklift can safely carry at the manufacturer's specified load centre distance, typically 500 mm from the face of the forks.

Question 3

A forklift has a rated capacity of 2,000 kg at a 500 mm load centre. If the load centre increases to 750 mm, what happens to the safe carrying capacity?
