I have a technical question on the spec plate located on the truck.
The original plate shows a L/C of 24", (distance from the face of the forks out 1/2 to the tips), and a weight of 4700 lbs. The letter designation is "A". Follow me?
Now there is a "B", designation for an elevated height w/ no #'s. Should the "B" designation be 24" as well.
As I understand it, "A & B" designations are configured 24" out from the face of the forks, and 24" elevated and this should be the lift capacity, (of 4700lbs, in this instance). Right?
In addition, why does the plate show "B" at approx. 4 foot off the ground?
Am I missing something? I need to replace the broken plate w/ the correct #'s, no S/S present.
(If anyone has the proper info for this machine it would be much appreciated).
Please explain in simple terms because I only went to college for 6 years and have a difficult time understanding words w/ more than 6 letters.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
