Calculate Lost Load of Fork Truck

|
Calculate the effect of a Morse drum handling attachment on your truck capacity. The capacity factor is important to safety (truck stability and avoiding damage to your truck). You should also ensure that the truck can do the work you need done. Morse drum handling attachments tend to move the center of gravity of the combined truck and load forward. The farther forward the center of gravity moves on the forklift, the smaller the load weight must be, and the more likely the fork truck is to tip forward. With a drum handling forklift attachment in place, fork truck capacity can be substantially lower than the original rated capacity. For exact determination of capacity for your truck with drum handling attachment, you should contact your truck manufacturer. Follow the link in the chart at right for dimensions of your Morse drum handling forklift attachment. This information is used to calculate the lost load on your equipment. Applicable OSHA Regulations:Modifications and additions which affect capacity and safe operation shall not be performed by the customer or user without manufacturers prior written approval. Capacity, operation, and maintenance instruction plates, tags, or decals shall be changed accordingly.
