Handling Procedure; Load Capacity - Nakanishi KOLEC FX15WT Instruction Manual

4. Handling Procedure

Load capacity

Forklift keeps balance with the same principle as a balancing toy. Therefore, when the cargo is placed farther from
the root of the fork, the forklift becomes more unstable. Accordingly, when the center of gravity of cargo exceeds a
certain distance (load center) from the root of the fork, the maximum allowable load weight of the forklift will be
reduced. For the maximum allowable load weight by the distance of center of gravity of cargo, refer to the graph
below.
WARNING
Do not load the forklift with a cargo exceeding the maximum allowable load weight.
If the forklift is loaded with a cargo exceeding the maximum allowable load weight, the forklift will
overturn. If the forklift overturns, the forklift and dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in
serious injury.
Do not load the forklift with a cargo exceeding the allowable load.
If the center of gravity of the cargo is at 500 mm or farther distance from the root of the fork, the
maximum allowable load weight of the forklift will be reduced. If the forklift is loaded with a cargo
exceeding the allowable load, the forklift will overturn. If the forklift overturns, the forklift and dropped
cargo may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
