There are several different capacity models of Bendi Forklift Trucks and wheel configurations either 3 or 4 wheeled. They have different lifting capacities. For example, A B313 will have a Basiic Capacity of 1350kg to 3300mm (10 feet) and will derate to 800kg at 7200mm at a 500mm load centre. A B40 Series IV has a basic capacity of 1900kg to 3300mm at 500mm load centre, and will derate to 900kg at 9000mm at a 500mm load centre. This machine will still lift 1000kg t0 8200mm. The above figures include sideshift.(Unlike many Japanese manufactured machines)

Daryl has misheard inches for feet when it comes to basic capacities. European equipment generally is rated at either a 600 or 500mm load centre to 3300mm. American influenced machines tend to be 24" load centre to 10 feet.
This 'standardisation' help buyers compare apples with apples when looking at capacities, but beware of the Japanese!

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
