My company recently started receiving the first part of two orders placed with Toyota. The trucks are mostly FGU70 (15,500 LB Capacity) models. We are adding to our existing fleet of trucks and the second order are replacements for our Yale GLP115 trucks. The problem we are having is the Toyota trucks capacity is so much less than our Yale's that they will not handle our loads. Even loads that are within the listed capacity are causing the rear tires to come off the ground. We have never had this problem with our current Yale trucks. Our current Yale trucks have an 11,000-pound plus capacity at 217 lift height @ 24 inch LC. Our Toyota's will only handle 9850 pounds at 217 high at the same 24 inch LC..

My question is will the counter weight of a Toyota FGU80 fit the FGU70 and give us the capacity we need?

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
