To work out different load centres and lifting capacities you need to do a simple calculation: To work out the safe lifting capacity of your truck when picking up a load with a longer load centre the basic rule is if you double the load centre distance you will halve the truck’s maximum safe lifting capacity. If your load is heavier on one side, then you need to pick the load up from the heavier side. Load centre refers to the centre of gravity of the load you are picking up. You should also be able to work out your truck’s capacity using different load centres. This information can be found on the load plate / capacity plate of your truck. Lifting capacities and load centres – what you need to knowĪs a trained forklift driver you should be aware of your truck’s lifting capacity.
