Calculation of the Residual Capacity of a Forklift Truck
What is the Residual Capacity of a Forklift
The Residual Capacity of a forklift truck is its capacity (kg) to lift a mass after incorporating an accessory or implement.
When incorporating an accessory to a forklift , said element reduces its capacity to lift loads due to several factors:
- Implement size.
- thickness and center of gravity.
- Weight of the accessory or implement.
Therefore, when considering the purchase of an accessory, it is vitally important to calculate the residual capacity beforehand.
The lift truck manufacturer or his representative is responsible for providing the residual capacity of the truck/attachment combination. They can calculate an estimate of residual or net capacity by following the instructions in the calculation scheme below.
