A question for all you Service Techs

I trained today at a new client's site. They have a new Clark ESX25 stand up ride-on stacker. The truck, I presume, although I may be wrong, is rated for 5000lbs. It is an EE truck with a sideshifter, and that is it. Why does the data plate read a capacity of only 2800lbs. @ 24" LC?

As a trainer, I do not pretend to be a service tech. i know that on some trucks, the capacity is reduced as the forks are raised, however, this data plate is not showing that, as there is one capacity for a lift of 240" high

There is not enough information to go on, but i would suggest that mast height has reduced the SWL. What mast is fitted?

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
