Inch Pound Equation


 
There will be times, though, when the load center will be greater than 24". When this happens, you must determine the maximum capacity for the truck using the new load center. To do this, you must use the "Inch Pound Equation".

(A + B) x C = Inch Pounds

Where:
 
= the distance (in inches) from the center of the front wheels to the face of the forks
= the Rated Load Center (LC) (in inches)
= the truck's capacity at the Rated Load Center (in pounds)
