If you close your eyes, it sounds like Bill Clinton is explaining load charts 😂

[@SafetyProCalculations]

LOL, that's funny!!! I guess I do sound like Clinton. Never made the connection. LOL

Good info, class tomorrow.

The last example is at 10 feet not 12 like the question asked, is that a slip up?

[@SafetyProCalculations]

Thanks Tony. Yes it's a slip up. I had my reference line at 10 instead of 12. Capacity (2,200 lbs.) is the same in this scenario whether it's 10 or 12 lift height.

Hi,is it universal that on all charts the distance out starts at the front of the tires,and zone 1 boom angle begins at half the lenght of the forks?

[@SafetyProCalculations]

generally speaking yes. But always follow the manufacturer's instructions for interpreting the charts.

[@SafetyProCalculations]

@@familyoftwo7441 I agree assuming the sensors are not out of calibration as they often are.
