always determine if the load is within the load capacity
of this machine.
Weight and Distance
It is easy to understand that a fully extended boom
cannot lift as much weight as one that is completely
retracted. Too much weight too far forward will cause
the rear tires to rise off the ground. This can be sensed
very quickly by an operator and can be stopped before
dangerously affecting the stability of the forklift.
However, a load that is safely raised with the boom
retracted gains tremendous leverage as it is extended
up and away from the center of vehicle gravity. If the
weight is too much, trouble isn’t usually felt until it’s
too late. always judge the weight of a safe load by the
distance it must be extended.
