The only people that are "allowed" to give you an accurate capacity are the manufacturers of the equipment. There are simple ways to do a basic calculation and I'd recommend you visit the website for Cascade. They have a calculator you can copy and use - to get an idea.
If the load is something you handle often, you can get the lift truck dealer for that brand to update your serial number plate to show the capacity of your truck at any a certain load centre.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
