Question: Can my 5000 lb lift truck lift 9 or 10000 lb at a 12" center. You say we double the load center we cut in half the load roughly. I think we have increased capacity closer. We don't agree at our shop. To me if the machine remains stable and it does not go on relief valve then it works. No more strain on chains or forks etc. in my opinion.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
