Inch Pound Equation - Example
 |
You operate a lift truck that is
rated at 5000 lbs. @ 24" LC. You must lift a load with an LC of 36". The
distance from the center of the front wheels to the face of the forks is
18". What is the maximum weight you can lift?
To solve the problem, you must break the problem into two steps. Step 1: You must first determine the maximum Inch Pound capacity of the truck. To do this, you must use the equation (A + B) x C = Inch Pound, where A = 18", B = 24", and C = 5000 lbs. ( 18" + 24" ) x 5000 lbs. = Inch
