The further the load center is from the
backrest, the lower the load capacity.
The load center must also be no higher
than that specified above the lifting sur-
face (Top side of forks). For example, a
load capacity of 3,000 pounds with a
load center of 24 inches means that the
truck can be used to lift 3,000 pounds
only when the load's center of gravity is
R3814
LOAD CAPACITY
no more than 24 inches from the face of
the forks or 24 inches above the top side
of the forks. Note that a truck undergo-
ing speed changes is less stable than a
standing truck. If you are not sure that
the truck can lift a certain load, consult
your supervisor or the designated
authority.
