Load capacity of forklift truck using inch-pound rating method A forklift truck has a rating of 4,000 lbs at the rated load center of 30". Load center is the distance from the center of the pallet load to the face (edge) of the fork. The distance between the center of the front wheels to the face of the fork is 15" (This distance is constant for a truck). 1. What is the inch-pound rating of the truck (this is also known as the maximum inch pound capacity - given for carrying at the floor level)? 2. What is the allowable depth of pallet if the gross weight of 3,500 lbs is to be carried? 3. What is the allowable load on pallet that is 48" deep? (Show calculations. Hint: the pallet load cannot exceed the given 4,000 lbs rating).
