One thing that keeps coming up as I'm looking over different machine specs, is "load center"
I'm not sure what this means, but it does seem to affect the lifting capacity of the truck.
Does load center refer to the geometry of whatever object you're lifting?
Or does it refer to an adjustable feature on the fork face itself?
How/why does it affect lifting capacity?
