Other data on the display includes the lift’s capacity down rating when fitted with a mast and the specific down rating for attachments identified on the capacity plate. Often on the plate’s display are the load capacity, load centre distance, lift weight, model and brand of the forklift. This load capacity data plate shows the weight of a load that a forklift can lift safely when at different mast angles as well as when they are fitted with an attachment. The forklift’s load capacity data plate is the one that specifies the load capacity for a forklift of given specifications. Understanding the Load Capacity Data Plate Before forklift operators fully understand load capacity, they also have to understand the effect the size and shape of the forklift has on the load capacity. This is because exceeding the load capacity of a forklift can be very dangerous for the forklift operators and all those around them. This will go a long way in helping them maintain their safety while operating these forklifts. In addition, they should also know the load capacities of different forklifts that are currently available in the market. The increasing availability of more forklift options and attachments has made it very important that operators get a better understanding of the forklift’s load capacity they operate. Normally, the load capacity of forklifts reduces when the weight is not placed at the position specified by the manufacturer. The maximum weight that a forklift can lift safely when the load centre is at a specified point is called the load capacity.
