The 1"=100lbs works with most attachments and odd sized pallets and loads, but not with a carpet pin. The force of the load (carpet) is concentrated along a very narrow path, unlike a pallet, which has loads as wide as 48", sometimes wider. Therefore, the formula regarding carpet hauler forklifts is different. and as you can see, doesn't work, or apply in thia instance.
