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
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
