On the metric end of things, 25X2.2=5600 pounds, 600 more than the imperial measurement side of things.

All I am doing is trying to resolve an issue for a client. They bought the thing believing that they would be able to pick up 3500 pound loads, of which I am sure the sales rep (he's good) figured that the 25EX would do the job. Now I go in and teach the guys that they are not allowed to exceed the rated capacity of the lift truck and when we look at the data plate, straight up, 2800@24", 240".

I told my client that I belong to a forum that would be able to possibly figure this one out. And if a Clark 25 sit-down can p/u approx 5000lbs as does a Toyota, what would make this any different.

Anyhow, I though I could help these people out. I am not calling Kentucky. They will have to speak to the dealer and get the answers themselves.
