It amazes me everytime I visit a company to teach and one of the first questions I ask is 'What is the lifting capcity of your forklift?' and I don't get any replies. And these are not newbies but experienced individuals working for that business for 5+ years!
The way they tell it to me is that when the counterweight starts to lift up, the load is too heavy.
They don''t do that anymore and they are all well aware of the lifting capcity/load centers of their trucks.
