Basis And Principles For Matching Forklift Tonnage Selection With Mining Production Operations

The rated load of the forklift, also known as the marked load, is unknown to many users, so when purchasing a forklift, they will blindly trust the salesperson, which will be deceived to a certain extent. According to the "National Standard Forklift Technical Conditions" and "National Standard Forklift Test Methods", when the forklift manufacturer marks the rated load of the whole machine, it is also the contract load agreed upon by the manufacturer and the purchaser, that is, the rated load, which must be less than or equal to the tipping load of the whole machine. Since users do not have a professional calculation method, there is a simple empirical algorithm: the rated load must be less than or equal to 90% of the operating weight of the whole machine.
