What Is a Forklift Capacity Data Plate?

What is a Forklift Capacity data plate The nameplate (also called the data plate) provides important information for the forklift operator, including the fuel type, forklift weight, and capacity. Operators should read the nameplate to know the forklift's capabilities and limitations. + Center of Gravity + 30" 7900 Ibs. - 36" O 6665 lbs. Truck Center of Gravity • The load capacity data plate specifies the load each forklift can safely lift at different mast angles or when it is fitted with an attachment. The plate should display; the load capacity, lift height, loads center distance, brand and model number. The plate should also display: • Down rating of lifting capacity if a mast is fitted • Down rating for specific attachments that are identified on the capacity plate What each section of the Data Plate means Truck Weight W/O Battery: Is the weight of the forklift without a battery. The battery will have its weight stamped on its case. Adding the truck and battery weights together will give the total weight of the vehicle. Mast and Back Tilt: Refers to the type of mast and the maximum degree of back tilt. Truck Weight: Approximately how much the forklift weighs without a load. Tire Size: Tire size is to ensure the proper replacement tires are installed to meet capacity ratings. lire pressure is also shown in pounds per square inch for pneumatic tires.

Max Lifting Height: The maximum lift height based on the rated load centers. Load Center: The capacity listed is based on the load center - how far forward from the mast the balancing point of the load is. Attachments: Is used to indicate if the nameplate reflects the attachment (if any) All data on the nameplate reflects the capacity as equipped with that specific attachment. Capacity: At the stated load center. The further forward the center of the load is the LESS the forklift will be able to pick up. The capacity will decrease as the load center increases. Other Important Facts If the lift truck is modified in any way or has an attachment, the nameplate must be updated by the original manufacturer of the truck or by a qualified professional engineering firm like Professional Forklift Engineering Services. 4- For electric forklifts, the minimum weight of battery on the data plate must be met to insure the stated lifting capacity of the forklift on the data plate. Using a smaller, lighter battery will invalidate the stated lifting capacity on the data plate. Every lift truck MUST have a nameplate securely attached. It must be legible.
