Gentelmen,

Your math is flawed. 1 inch = 100lbs!!!!!

Contact the OEM to determine capacity of any given machine, equipted with any number of MFH available, with any given attachment.

ANSI B56.1 and OSHA 1910 29 CFR specifically require that capacity ratings be done by the manufacture or a competent Mechanical engineer.

As trainers it is our responsibility ,and required by ANSI, OSHA, ASME, ETC to train operators about the stability triangle and load capacities.

Not to calucalate load capacites beyond that which is stated on the capacity chart on the lift truck!

Think more speak less.

Regards
