EXAMPLE
Load Capacity Field Calculations
Always center the load on the forks. Position the
load so that it is completely against the back of
the fork frame. Fork length should always be at
least 2/3 the load length.
All Genie telehandler fork carriage load charts are
based on a horizontal load center that is 24 in /
61 cm from the front vertical surface of the fork
arm. For loads with a load center exceeding this
value, refer to the table and instructions below to
determine the reduced load capacity for a specific
load zone. Note that this does not account for a
load center that is not centered between the forks
or a vertical load center exceeding 24 in / 61 cm
from the top face of the fork tine. Keep the load
centered on the fork carriage.
To calculate the new reduced load capacity at a
load center greater than the standard 24 in / 61
cm load center, multiply the zone capacity from
the load chart by the appropriate reduction factor
listed in the table below. Refer to the example.
