Load Capacity Charts
 Warning
DO NOT exceed rated capacities. Any
attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of
those shown on the load capacity charts
could cause forklift tip over, loss of load, or
structural damage which could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
All load ratings shown on load capacity charts are
based on the forklift being on firm, level ground,
the forks being evenly positioned on the carriage,
the load being centered on the forks, properly sized
tires properly inflated, and the forklift being in good
operating condition.
Load capacity charts, located on the left side of the dash
panel, are provided to assist the operator in determining
how to safely operate the boom to pick up, carry, and set
down a load with the reach forklift, including what angle,
how high, and how far to extend the boom
