Calculation of Capacity
The Calculations of Capacity for the Forklift and AttachmentThe capacity is an important factor for model selection. Below two factors will resultin lower capacity:
1. Weight of attachment counteracts loading capacity of the forklift truck.
2. Thickness of attachment rear structure makes the center gravity of cargo move forward.
The following formula helps to calculate the net carrying capacity. The ultimate valueof capacity, for reference only.
Forklift truck parameter:
Q: Forklift truck’s loading capacity (Kg).
(Note: Truck loading capacity is related with lifting height).
X:Distance from front wheel center line to fork face (mm).
C:The horizontal distance from the front end of the fork to thecenter of the load.
Attachments calculation parameter:
M: Weight of attachments (Kg).
A: Distance from front wheel center line to fork front face.
HCG:Distance from fork front face to attachment’s center of gravity.
ET: Distance from fork front face to carriage rear face of load (mm).
L: Distance from rear face of load to center of load(mm).
For example, that:
Q=2500kgX=450mmC=500mmS=50mm
M =600kgA=400mm HCG=300mmET=200mmL=500mm
