Still RCD40, Original Instructions Manual, Page: 84 / 170

Load centre distance refers to the distance be-
tween the vertical plane of the fork arms and
the centre of gravity of the loads(1).
NOTE
The centre of gravity of a load is not necessa-
rily located at the central point of the load it-
self. The load capacity refers to the weight of
goods able to be lifted to a specified height
within a given load centre distance.
NOTE
Check the load limits. In the following circum-
stances, please contact your authorised deal-
er before operating.
●
Before lifting irregular loads or goods that
sway.
●
Where the load centre of gravity distance is
excessively long.
●
Before using attachments.
Capacity plate
DANGER
The parameters in the load diagram and on the la-
bels apply to compact, uniform loads. These load
limits must not be exceeded. Exceeding the load
limits will affect the stability of the forklift truck and
the strength of the lift mast.
Refer to the CAPACITY CHART before lifting goods.
If attachments are fitted, refer to the load rating label
for the attachment.
For example:
Truck model: RCD50 with single tyre
Load centre: 500 mm
Lift height: ≤5500 mm
In this case, the maximum load capacity is:
5000 kg
–
Before loading, make sure that the dimen-
sions and weight of the load are within the
approved standard specified in the “Techni-
cal datasheet” chapter and on the load rat-
ing plate.
