Hi
I have R20-18 STILL forklift and I want to be sure that I understand the load capacity chart.
The load capacity according to the loads chart/table is a function of the load center and it's height.
My first question is: if the max height of the forklift's forks is 4040 mm, should I read the loads from the row corresponding to this height (4040 mm) for the whole range of height 0-4040 mm, or maybe should I read the loads from the first (bottom) row corresponding to 0-3330 mm for heights up to 3330 mm and than for the last height (3331-4040 mm) read the loads from the second row (following row) related to 4040 mm height?
The second question is: the loads on the loads chart/table fixed on the forklift is slightly less (~2% the basic/first row) than the loads from the charts on STILL technical datasheets. Could it be because of the shifting forks mechanism added? if negative - what could be the reason?
Thanks, Guideon

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
