How-to pick up a counterbalance forklift with a counterbalance forklift?

In order to lift a counterbalance lift truck you need to appreciate weight, load centres and centre of gravity position. The centre of gravity of an unladen counterbalance truck sits at a point directly below the operators seat. This point must align with the centre of the lifting truck or the machine may tip sideways off the forks. The forks should be positioned as wide as practicably possible to reduce the risk of sideways slipping. A forklift weighs a lot more than is initially apparent. A 2.5t truck typically weighs 4.25t so a 5t truck will be needed to lift it. Consideration also needs to be given to the load centre. A 2.5t lift truck is typically about 1200mm wide giving it a load centre of 600mm. Given a small undercut to avoid damaging the truck a load centre of 700mm would increase the weight by about 400-500kgs. Also be aware that electric trucks for example may have motors / gearboxes that extend below the bottom of the truck. Carelessly positioned forks can potentially cause costly damage.

How much can a twenty four inch load center forklift lift?

The load center of a forklift vehicle has little to do with its lifting capacity; this is determined by its structural engineering including the counterweight and pivot point. The lifting capacity of all forklift vehicles is stated on a tag on the vehicle, and is available from the manufacturer, and is also stated in the operation and safety procedures for the specific vehicle. The load center only tells you where you can place the load on the forks.


Can you place sensor in truck instead of weigh bridge to calculate load on the truck?

A weigh bridge weighs the whole truck both before and after its load is added or removed; the difference is the weight of the load. Using a sensor on the truck itself is problematic, because it requires that * all of the load be supported on that point * means that each truck will have its own error in readings * gives room for sabotage * would cost a lot more to institute and maintain than a single weighbridge, and * means that something would be needed to take the data from the sensor to a monitoring station.

What is front load vs back load?

Front Load refers to "forward" logistics, trucking, dispatch, or delivery of items from point of dispatch to the point of delivery.Example: Truck delivers Product from Warehouse to Client.Back Load on the other hand refers to "reverse" logistics, that is to say, the return of items from the point of delivery to the point of dispatch.Example: Truck returns Product from Client to Warehouse, as in the case of defective or damaged goods.
