Work it out.

Calculators for the forklift trade: find the load's centre of gravity, assess stability as a moment balance and interpolate the residual capacity on the load chart. Enter your own measurements — the result updates live.

Important

The calculators only illustrate the physical principles. The actual permitted load for a given load centre and lift height is ALWAYS read from the individual truck's own load chart (capacity plate).

Step A — Load & load centre

4 calculators

Step B — Stability

2 calculators

Assess stability as a moment balance about the front axle: does the load moment stay within the permissible moment from the load chart?

Step C — Load chart

1 calculator

Read off the load chart: interpolate the permitted load between two lift heights you have read off — never beyond the chart's end points.

Step D — Geometry over loose numbers

3 calculators

Step V — Directory

1 calculator

Guided lifting planning: answer questions about load and truck, and the wizard compiles geometry and standards to the correct reading point on your load diagram.
