You must have the ID plate on the forklift updated stating the new lifting capacity and
center of gravity information. Always comply with your local rules and regulations. A

The FLSC forklift scale comes in an ITA Class II (16” high, 5,000 lb) model. This model
comes in several widths for cleat type carriages. From Table 10.2, select the width that
meets the dimensions of the forklift carriage. Use the weights, dimensions and the
following formula to calculate the net lifting capacity of your forklift with a scale
attached.
Refer to the figure below for the dimensions.
